Water heating can account for up to 20% of your home’s energy costs which is why well over 40% of homes in Europe use solar hot water heaters. Simply put they are economical and they work.

Recently the State of Connecticut launched a Solar Thermal Incentive through the Connecticut Clean Energy Fund. In short this incentive aids residents and businesses in financing the cost of installing a solar hot water system. Consumers can earn back the cost of the system within 4-5 years and will then recognize a savings every month thereafter.

If you don’t like the look of a solar panels, there are options. The Greenward Ridgevent (pictured above) mounts to your roof along the ridgeline and is covered by your roof shingles. It looks like any other ridgevent and is imperceptible!
