Why Solar Water Heating Makes Cents

You have probably already spent enough money heating water to purchase a solar water heater.  You'll spend
enough in the next six years to purchase another.  Then another.  Why not own it?
  1. You pay the utility company every month to heat your water.
  2. You pay them with money that is taxed by the federal and state governments and is further taxed by the
    utilities.
  3. You will pay the utility company enough money in the next 5 to 8 years to purchase the solar system.  
    Then, you’ll do it again in the next 4 to 6 years.  Sooner or later, you are going to get tired of paying for
    something you never own.
  4. If you install a solar WH system today, it starts paying you back immediately with non-taxable money.  
    It is designed to last 30 years with little to no maintenance.
  5. The cost of energy is likely to soar in the next 30 years, but so will your savings.  You will have some
    insulation from high energy costs because your water heater will be paying you - not costing you.
  6. We are not accustomed to spending money like this.  Purchasing a solar water heater is like starting a
    tax-free business.  You are making an investment that has a genuine and guaranteed return-on-
    investment.  Here are the facts:
  1. You own the system.
  2. It captures clean solar energy you can use every day.
  3. The system increases the value of your home.  A solar water system has one of the highest
    recouped cost of any home addition.  And, its value is based on the cost of energy, not your
    purchase price.  (Not factored in above.)
  4. You pay for the system only once.  It continues to put money in your pocket every day.  This money
    is not taxed and the flow continues for as long as the sun shines.  
  5. AND, the government encourages you to go solar.  The Feds offer a 30% personal tax credit
    against the cost of the system, no maximum, and excess credit may be carried forward.
  1. Not to mention the reduced dependence on fossil fuels and the resulting benefits to the environment.  
    We don’t really know how to place a value on this.
  2. The sooner you convert to solar, the sooner you break the cycle, become more independent, and start
    saving REAL money.
  3. The longer you wait, the more money you loose.  Are you ready NOW?
