Before we answer the questions above, let’s talk about not only a solar water heater system, but hot water systems in general. There are several different types of these systems. Some of the most common are the conventional gas heated hot water that uses a hot water storage tank, electrically heated hot water that also uses a storage tank, on demand electrically heated water that uses large amounts of electricity to heat water just before it’s delivered by a faucet and finally, the clean and inexpensively heated solar water heater system heated by the sun itself.

The basics of conventional gas and electrically heated hot water systems that use tank storage are almost the same, generally differing only in the method of heating the water itself. You’ll find a thermostat in these systems which controls the heat level of the water itself and as the water in the tank or reservoir cools to a preset temperature level, the water is reheated back to the desired comfort level by either the gas-powered flame or an electrical heating element turning on and raising the temperature of the water to the upper preset level. In almost every conventional home you see, this is the type of water heating system in use, but their operational costs have become overly expensive and burdensome due to the huge amounts of gas and electricity which are continuously required to both initially heat and maintain the temperature of water used in the home for use at a moment’s notice. It looks like a solar water heater system could be a life-safer here, right?
One can find an alternative method of water heating in some homes called an on-demand or in-line tankless water heater which is positioned immediately before the point of water demand such as a spigot/faucet or possibly a sink, bathtub or shower. This approach dictates that no hot water is kept on hand in a holding tank requiring intermittent energy use to reheat it to its desired temperature – the water is only warmed or heated when hot water is actually required and not until that time is any energy used. Many homeowners looking for ways to reduce their energy costs have examined this idea and at first blush, it appears to make sense until the initial costs of both buying and installing the necessary number (three to five and even more in some cases are needed for the average home) of water heating units in addition to rising electricity costs can cause the payback period for the initial outlay to run far into the future, completely negating any financial advantage the homeowner was hoping for.
Now the curtain rises for the solar water heater system to help us save a lot of money each month. . .you’re able to have an excellent hot water system and because of its solar DIY benefits (simple and economical to construct by almost everyone) it will save money for many years into the future, generally for the rest of your life. Don’t forget that you will be able not only to save a lot of money on your electrical bill each month (if not eliminate it entirely) but you can save an absolute fortune by using your money-saving solar water heater system to heat your spa and pool – you’ll extend your swimming season and also save money that was formerly just wasted!
