Solar Water Heater for Less Than a Water Heater?

Why replace your old water heater with an energy efficient standard gas or electric water heater when you can go solar for less (after Federal, State and local government renewable energy incentives are factored in.)?

Maryland Green Power Co. has been selling a residential / small commercial sized solar water heater with 64 square feet of flat panel solar collector space (2 solar panels), drainback system with drainback reservoir, pumps, controller, valves, heat exchanger and all miscellaneous items except for PVC piping which are practically FREE after Federal, State and local solar incentives are factored in.

For businesses, depreciation of this equipment can make this an even better deal.

Check your local codes: Our solar water heater can pre-heat water and send it into your existing water heater tank. Why install a separate solar water storage tank and use up extra space? If your local codes require a double-walled heat exchanger, then we’ll include it in the solar water storage tank at a small extra cost, which is essentially subsidized by incentives anyway.

Best of all, this quality solar water heating system is built in the U.S.A.

Incentive: Photovoltaic and wind incentives are based on the combined system rating in kilowatt DC output.

• $3 for each of the first 3,000 installed watts of capacity
• $2 for each of the next 7,000 installed watts of capacity
• $1 for each of the next 10,000 installed watts of capacity

Eligible Renewable: Solar Water Heat, Solar Thermal Process Heat, PV.

Applicable Sectors: Individual residents, non-governmental organizations, businesses and private schools may apply.

Flat Panel vs Evacuated Tube Solar Water Heaters

Although the evacuated tube solar water heaters are slightly more efficient in the winter and look cutting-edge modern, many people think the flat plate solar water heaters are esthetically more pleasing.

In fact, a 4 square meter flat plate solar water heater is equivalent in heat production to a 3 square meter evacuated tube solar water heater.

The flat plate solar water heaters tend to be a little less expensive, making them, dollar per dollar, about equal to the evacuated tube solar water heaters from an investment standpoint.

Quoting Intelligent Energy Solutions:

An independent study by the DTI compared a number of different types of system and the panel that produced the most hot water was of the flat plate variety.
