Solar Hot Water
The sun is the most abundant source of energy available on our planet. For thousands of years humans have depended on solar energy to warm their homes. Homes were sited to take advantage of natural solar heating. Since the Industrial Revolution, fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas have been used instead. Fossil fuels are increasingly expensive, dirty, and difficult to extract. Today millions of people throughout the world are using solar energy to heat their homes and water and generate electricity.

They work in partnership with your existing water heater and furnace, so you'll always have heat and hot water. You'll simply pay less.
