Solar thermal systems can provide a renewable and sustainable solution for domestic hot water needs. They can save up to 24% of household energy consumption used for water heating and pay for themselves over time. Solar thermal arrays produce more energy per unit area than other renewable technologies like photovoltaics, wind, heat pumps, biomass and rapeseed oil. Investing in solar thermal is an environmentally friendly way to reduce carbon emissions and energy costs for homeowners without negatively impacting landscapes.
