What is Solar Thermal?

Nov.17,2008
Solar technology is sexy and is a hot topic right now given our energy crisis. Whenever I tell people that we install solar on people’s houses, I never get a negative response. Solar is good. It is harnessing the energy from the sun a source of energy that should last a few billions years plus or minus. There are many types of solar technologies on the market, but the one that excites me the most is solar thermal.
In residential households, hot water heaters are typically the 2nd largest consumer of energy behind the HVAC. The concept of heating the water with the sun has been around for hundreds of years, but within the last 100 years or so the technology has advanced quite a bit. Here in GA, with the state and federal tax credits most systems save enough in energy costs to pay for themselves in less than 7 years. Some as soon as 2 years depending on the usage. For more information on the tax credits visit GEFA. To find out more about Velux Solar Hot water heater that looks like skylights visit Velux.com
