Portland Workshop :: June 20 :: Residential Solar Water Heating
Water heating represents the second largest energy usage in your home, after space heating. To offset this, a solar water heater can supply 50-60% of your home's annual hot water needs! The rest will be supplied by your conventional tank or tank-less water heater.
During Oregon's sunny summer months, a solar water heater will typically provide all of your hot water needs, heating your water to 120-150°F. In the cloudy winter months, the sun may heat your water to 70-100°F, and your conventional water heater will do the rest.
There are several different types of solar water heating systems to choose from. Today's solar water heating systems are very reliable, are designed for protection from freezing, require very little maintenance and have a long life-expectancy. What's more, the combined financial incentives make solar water heating less expensive than a solar electric system.
At our workshop "How to Buy a Solar Hot Water System" you'll learn about site anaylsis, solar hot water technology, system sizing, performance, incentives and case studies.
