5 Reasons Why You Should Make a Solar Powered Water Heater This Weekend
1) Solar Powered water heaters are very inexpensive to make
2) The savings will be seen immediately
3) They last a long time
4) Aside from clouds, the Sun is there everyday to provide more energy
4) Save the Environment!!!
Now I don't know if you all have noticed but that big orange thing in the sky during the day, the SUN, is giving off tons of free energy. The problem is that that energy is mostly light energy. We need a way to convert that to heat energy.
Solar Powered Water Heaters are a simple and really easy to set up system that I will discuss here.
Things to consider when making a solar powered water heater
3 things you will need
1) A bright light...ahem....the SUN!!!
2) A surface or fluid that can absorb the light and change it into heat. Black tubing for example, or a black material that is insulated.
3) Something to store the hot water once it has been produced.
It's all pretty basic, the only tricky part is putting it all together. I am not super technical but with directions I can be pretty handy, and I am willing to bet that most you out there are the same way.
The cost of the parts is really inexpensive, you can easily get away with spending less than $100. And a solar powered water heater heater can be built in one weekend so it won't take long.
Save Money, Energy, and the Environment with a solar powered water heater
Feel good knowing that you are getting energy at a greatly reduced cost and you are helping out the environment
When you think about it we use a lot of hot water in our daily lives. I mean sure we can have shorter showers, or wash our clothes on cold water settings instead of hot, but why do it if you don't have to?
If you make your own solar powered water heater then you aren't spending money to produce this hot water, and you aren't harming the environment to create it. And it is FREE!!! Even if you used 75% solar powered water heat and 25% from conventional methods, you are still drastically reducing your carbon footprint and the cost to yourself.
