Maryland Solar Hot Water News

Matt Bartlett here. I just wanted to send this quick holiday message to all of our clients, blog readers, and anyone with an interest in solar hot water.

First, I want to send a big thank you to everyone who decided to install a solar water heater this year.  It’s people like you who are stepping up and making real, positive change to the way you and your family consumes fossil fuel. Even if you chose to use one of our competitors for your installation, we are glad you made the switch to solar powered water heating! Collectively you all are making an impact, and saving a ton of money too!

Happy Holidays! Maryland Solar Hot Water NewsFor those of you who are passionate about solar energy and keep tabs on the local solar market, you will be happy to know solar hot water heaters are more popular than ever. We have had a terrific year installing countless solar water heaters across the entire state and have already booked numerous installations for next year. Solar water heating is definitely the most popular, most affordable way to go solar.

As 2009 comes to a close we see 2010 being a spectacular year for solar power and more specifically solar hot water. The solar tax incentives available for solar hot water systems will continue to reduce your installation costs by 50-70% and as energy prices rise, the value of  your solar water heating system goes up. Not a bad deal, huh?

The latest solar hot water technology is outstanding! We receive calls and e-mails every day from people who are totally taken back by the incredible savings they are achieving with their new solar hot water systems. In some cases people are saving 30% on their utility bills.

Many of our clients go so far as to disconnect their backup energy source and see how long they can go using no gas or electric backup energy. As it stands now, the record is 14 days on 100% solar energy! Does anyone out there want to challenge this?

In addition, we have a very exciting opportunity for people all around the country who are considering entering into the solar hot water business. If you are thinking about starting a solar hot water business, you absolutely do not want to miss this. Stay tuned as the details will be revealed shortly.

Thanks again and have an energy efficient holiday season!

PS

It’s Not Too Late…

It’s not too late to get your solar hot water installation tax incentives filed in 2009. Our Year End Solar Hot Water Closeout will save you an additional $1,500, but you must hurry as the end of the year is approaching fast and these discounted systems will be gone soon.

It seems most people prefer the flat plate solar panels over evacuated tube collectors (see pictures below). While flat plate solar panels and evacuated tubes each have their own advantages most people like the appearance of the flat plates. Which do you like better in terms of appearance?

As new products, services and conveniences enter the marketplace we find ourselves adding to our list of needs. 15 years ago would you have considered your cell phone a need or an optional convenience? How about e-mail? As optional conveniences slowly shift into our needs column we begin to lose sight of what they are actually costing us. They become needs, have-to-haves, and we choose to ignore or justify the financial side effects.

Most of us would consider hot water a basic need, right? I know I do. The convenience that water heaters provide is of great value. How would you heat your water if you did not have a water heater? Showers, washing dishes and cleaning your home would become much more difficult. Utility companies fully understand the leverage they hold and are not the least bit hesitant to use it. They know you will pay whatever price they tell you to pay as long as you “need” the convenience that water heaters provide.

Solar water heaters do more than save money and reduce CO2 emissions. They fundamentally change how you consume. More specifically, how you consume energy. Instead of buying the convenience of hot water from your utility company (gas or electricity), you are utilizing the sun’s energy to heat your water. You are no longer at the mercy of your utility company.
