Description
We bought our retirement house. It came with both solar electric and solar hot water. Solar electric has worked great on our current home, so I'm not worried about that. But what about solar hot water? Is it worth it? We take a close look at a solar hot water system. We examine common maintenance requirements, collector panels problems, insulation issues, pressure relief valve testing, accessibility challenges, and the reality that the sun only shines less than 8 hours a day: what about the other 16? If you're considering solar hot water, researching home energy systems, planning a house renovation, or simply enjoy practical DIY, engineering, technology, and cost-benefit discussions, this real-world review may help you avoid an expensive mistake. I also explain why we plan to replace the system with point-of-use electric water heaters and how that decision can reduce complexity, maintenance, and long-term costs.
