Do you have a car? So you'd better choose a solar water heater. It can reduce emissions of CO2 by approximately 3 tonnes per year, the equivalent of the annual emissions of your small car!

Solar water heaters provide you with several benefits over conventional water heaters. You will reduce your hot water heating costs. You will also be directly reducing greenhouse gas emissions (carbon dioxide, CO2, released into the atmosphere), thereby contributing to a healthier environment.

The energy you can expect to save by switching to a solar water heater depends on several factors such as the size of the collectors and storage tank, appliance efficiency, amount of sunlight in your region and, very importantly, the amount of water you use. A typical solar hot water system will reduce annual energy costs by 40 to 50 percent. You can expect that a solar water heater will provide you with 1500 to 3000 kWh of energy per year, depending on your hot water usage and regional climate.

In Canada, domestic water heating contributes approximately 6 million tonnes of CO2 each year toward Canada’s greenhouse gas emissions. By installing a solar water heater, you can make a difference. In fact, a solar water heater will eliminate up to 2 tonnes of CO2 emissions per year, in proportion to your energy savings.
