Host A Solar Water Heating Party

May 22nd, 2009

group_presentation Host A Solar Water Heating PartyI always welcome ideas, feedback and suggestions on ways we can improve. Every time someone makes a suggestion I write it down in a special notebook for review at a later date. I have been given quite a few wonderful ideas so I thought I would share one of my favorites. This idea was given to me by a recent solar water heater installation client…

In an effort to help spread the word about solar water heaters in Maryland she suggested inviting some of her friends and neighbors over to her house for a group presentation on the basics of  solar water heating, saving energy and reducing CO2 emissions. You could make it into a party! Invite your guests, serve some refreshments and help do something good for your community. I thought this was a great idea!

So, if you have a few friends or neighbors interested in solar water heating..invite them over for fun, refreshments and some solar energy education.

Solar PV Vs. Solar Water Heaters

May 5th, 2009

2panel_solarwaterheater-300x182 Solar PV Vs. Solar Water HeatersIf you live in Maryland and have completed any research on solar PV (photovoltaic) for home you probably know it can be pricey. I am a huge fan of solar PV and truly believe if you are able to make the investment you will not be disappointed but, solar thermal systems or solar water heaters will get you the most bang for your buck. If you just can’t bring yourself to make the larger investment in a solar PV system to produce electricity for your home it is definitely worth considering a solar thermal system.

Your existing water heater is likely the least efficient use of energy in your home. Solar water heaters are incredibly efficient and do an amazing job of offsetting this poor use of energy. Even if you install a complete solar PV system it is wise to install solar thermal collectors for the water heating portion of your energy usage. Solar water heaters are so efficient that is does not make sense to heat your water with electricity generated by a solar PV system.

So, if you are considering a complete solar PV system, but are concerned about the cost you really should look into starting with a solar water heater/solar thermal system. You will get the most bang for your buck and it will compliment a future solar PV installation.
