Solar Ecomonics

Why should you install a solar thermal system?

Quite simply, it saves you money and energy, and it is clean and safe. And it has the added benefit of being non-polluting and emits no carbon into our air.

Solar Hot Water Heating Benefits:

While product performance varies with household water use patterns and geographic location, the average family home in southern Canada or northern USA can expect to have 50% of their annual residential water heating energy supplied by the EnerWorks solar appliance. This will range from a seasonal high of 65% in the summer to 35% in the winter. In more southern climates such as southern USA, the appliance can provide over 80% of the annual residential water heating energy requirements.

To determine your energy consumption and estimate the savings you can expect from EnerWorks solar water heating, please use our Solar Calculator.

• Energy savings, average of 50% per year for full-year operation in southern Ontario and Northern USA and over 80% in more southern climates like the southern USA;
• Energy savings of up to 100% for seasonal, off-grid installations;
• Access to “green” energy on an individual home basis;
• Easy to maintain;
• Reliable water heating;
• CO2 credits (carbon dioxide credits).

Benefit from Government Incentives:

Governments are actively encouraging customers to invest in solar thermal water heating as a way to diversify renewable energy resources. Depending on where you live, financial incentives can help reduce your solar thermal system cost. Talk to your dealer about how you can benefit from these incentives.
