The sun is the most abundant energy source on the Earth.  As we continue to hear about how fossil fuels are running out, we must consider alternative energy sources.

The sun is probably the most fun out of all of the options that we have.  Some people look to burn waste, others want to create fuels out of organic matter.  These are great, but they still pollute the air.  Solar is truly a clean energy.  One of the cheapest renewable options is solar hot water.

The sun heats the fluid in the collector and exchanges the heat with the water in the tank.

Why is this the gift that keeps on giving? 

1.  There is a 30% Federal tax credit plus here in GA there is a 35% state tax credit.  With these credits, there are $4500 or more in potential savings on the upfront cost of the system.

2.  With these credits the typical system pays for itself in 2-7 years.

3.  The good news is that over the life of the system you could have $15,000 or more in energy savings.

This truly is the gift that keeps on giving.
