Gas Boosted Solar Hot Water Systems
What is a Gas-Boosted Solar Hot Water System?
A solar hot water system is a hot water system connected to solar panels. These solar panels absorb the sun’s rays and convert these rays and convert into energy that warms the hot water in your home or office. Often, the solar panels are installed on the roof of the premises, as this is where the sun’s rays are brightest and the maximum amount of energy can be absorbed. To ensure that your hot water system provides you with warm water all year round, some companies install a gas-boosted solar hot water system. This is a solar hot water system that is backed up by a gas hot water system – providing you with continuous hot water even when the sun is not shining.
Why choose a solar hot water system?
As an alternative to electric-boosted solar hot water systems, gas-boosted systems have a lower ongoing running cost and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. Solar water heating has a number of overall benefits. Not only do you reduce your household or business energy costs by harnessing a natural and renewable energy source to power your hot water system, but you also reduce green house gas emissions in comparison to traditional gas or electric hot water systems. Choosing a solar hot water system is a great idea if you wish to do something positive for the environment, all while saving money. Plus, at the moment there are government rebates available when you install solar hot water systems in your home – so you save even more!
