Using the sun's energy to improve our daily lives

All solar power systems are renewable energy technologies that convert energy from sunlight into heat energy, which can either be used directly or converted into electricity. Using the sun's energy may take different forms and different equipment depending on the application that is needed.

Swimming pool heating
More than 300,000 solar pool heating systems have been installed in the United States, providing efficient heating to residential and commercial swimming pools around the country.

Pool heating payback can be as low as two years and a heating system can extend the swimming season from several weeks to year round depending on your location - all with cost free operation unlike conventional pool heaters. And as an added bonus the life of a typical swimming pool heating system is more than twice that of any other conventional pool heating alternative.

Hot water heating
The U.S. spends more than $13 billion a year on energy for home water heating. That is the equivalent of 11.4 barrels of oil per household, more than the amount of oil (in the form of gasoline) burned by a medium size automobile driven 12,000 miles.

Over 1.5 million Americans have invested in solar hot water systems for their homes and businesses, with over 94% of these customers considering the investment a wise decision.

The power saved by all the solar hot water heating and pool heating systems currently installed in the U.S. is equivalent to 9 megawatts per year, or the annual output of a typical nuclear powerplant.

A business can realize savings of 40 - 80% on electric or fuel bills by utilizing a solar water heating system to replace its conventional water heating system.

Prices for a complete water heating system range from $2,000 to $4,000. The life-cycle cost of a water heating system is at least 20% lower than a conventional water heater.

When a solar hot water heating system is included in the financing for a new home, the typical cost of the system ranges from $13 to $20 month and because the system is included in the home's mortgage, the homeowner can take advantage of a federal income tax interest rate deduction.
