1. Save Utility Costs

At home:

• Solar water heater can provide up to 80% of your hot water saving a family up to $1,000 per year
• Larger solar arrays supplement space heating and increase solar utilization
• Homes with propane or electric water heating will realize even larger savings

At work:

• Remote locations including work camps save fuel cost, improve comfort and increase safety
• Commercial or industrial operations that use heat reduce utility costs with solar heating
• Non-explosive solar is used to heat remote telecommunications, well-heads and pipeline facilities.

At Play:

• Cabins and ski chalets save on expensive propane and electric heating as well as increase comfort and safety with solar heating
• Pools and hot tubs heated with solar remove the high utility costs and increase your enjoyment

2. Increase Independence

• Realize a sense of accomplishment by creating your own heat, just like growing your own vegetables
• Connect with nature with a solar heater by noticing solstice cycles, weather effects and heating demands
• Protect yourself and your family from utility systems being out due to weather, over-demand or operating failures
• Looking for a way to get back at ‘The Man’? Solar heating is a great start!

3. Reduce your Environmental Footprint

• Solar Thermal systems are the best renewable energy method to significantly reduce your GHG emissions:
• every Solar thermal collector installed saves the equivalent of 1.2 acres of carbon-absorbing forest
• every two-collector heater has the same environmental benefit as buying a hybrid car but the solar heater costs half as much and lasts twice as long
• 75% of our homes’ energy is used for heat; 30 to 60% of this can be provided by solar heating
• Solar heating can be used in any heating system to reduce fuel consumption and save on GHG’s
