Solar water heating in our house? Cost?
I am interested in heating our water with solar energy. We live in Virginia and have direct sun Our ranch-style roof. What would it cost to buy the technology and to keep the solar panels to heat water only? Thank you!
You can not answer directly, such as return on investment will depend on how you can put solar panels and the amount of ice you get – a simple system that is responsible for hot water in summer, but must be drained in winter is cheap and easy. The involvement of heat exchangers can be used in freezing weather is more complex and costly. http://www.energy.vt.edu/vept/renewables/solar.asp
