Solar water heaters best solution for technology for green homes

Jul 18, 2011 |

Solar hot water systems are the best solution for homes wanting a green heating technology to reduce carbon emissions, according to Ethical Consumer magazine.

In the magazine’s latest Buyers’ Guide, the publication compared biomass boilers, ground source heat pumps and solar hot water heating.

The magazine found that while biomass boilers can provide the largest carbon savings, they are also among the most expensive renewable heat technologies, costing around £11,000. The Buyers’ Guide also questions the long-term sustainability of biomass feedstock.

Biomass boilers can also end up costing £40 a year more to run than a typical condensing gas boiler.

By comparison, solar hot water systems are the cheapest renewable technology to install at around £4800 for a typical system, saving a modest amount of carbon and up to £60 a year on energy bills against a typical condensing gas boiler.

“As the cheapest and easiest technology to install, if households are looking to buy a renewable-heating system in our view the best option would be to choose a solar hot water system,” says editor Rob Harrison.

Questions & Answers

Should I remove solar panels or get a solar hot water heater?

Nov 08, 2006 by Rich C
I just found out that my homeowners insurance company wants to charge me $300 more per year because I have some old solar panels on my roof. They were put on by the previous owners a long time ago I think. They are for a solar water heater but they aren't connected to anything because I just have a regular water heater in my garage. They are ugly as hell and I would just as soon take them down as I'd rather have a tankless system eventually anyways. My insurance is already $3150 per year for a 140K house (Florida) so its high enough as it is. It seems stupid to pay $300 a year for something I'm not even using. Who can I call to take them down or can I do it myself or are solar water heaters cheap enough now that I should consider one?
Why don't you do this first my friend: put an ad in the local paper for someone that wants solar heaters and have them help you, for a price maybe. You can get their help and, have them pay you for them. You'd better check with your insurance company first. They may require a roofer to replace anything for their own purpose. You know how insurance companies are?

Can I create a cheap but effective solar hot water heater for bathing using my south-facing bathroom window?

Sep 30, 2007 by joe friday's grrl
I moved into an older brick bungalow recently. We have just one bathroom, with a south-facing window (original glass) that's about 2-1/2' wide by 3-1/2'. The window is above the toilet, which sits right next to the soaking tub. I've never attempted to construct anything more complex than a small cardboard box solar cooker, and I don't have much to spend on this project. But I'd like to try and construct a simple, insulated collector/holding tank in the window, which can extend beyond the window area itself in all directions only a couple of feet. But I do also have a wide linen closet on the other side of the toliet that has extra space for storage, if needed. I just want to heat enough water for daily bathing for a family of three. It could be as rudimentary as something I fill with water from a hose, and then have a way for it to flow down into the tub once heated. Any ideas, or is this something I need a more high-tech solution or more space for?
buy a 2 panel solar thermal system and be done with it. you get tax credits and a much more efficient system (95%). go to appalachianenergy.com. we have 60 systems ready to ship as i type.

The engineering and scientific communities prefer the terms "geoexchange" or "ground source heat pumps" because geothermal power traditionally refers to heat originating from deep in the Earth's mantle. It uses the earth as a heat source (in the winter) or a heat sink (in the summer). Geothermal heat pumps are also known by a variety of other names, including geoexchange, earth-coupled, earth energy or water-source heat pumps. This design takes advantage of the moderate temperatures in the ground to boost efficiency and reduce the operational costs of heating and cooling systems, and may be combined with solar heating to form a geosolar system with even greater efficiency. ...

Ground source heat pumps harvest a combination of geothermal power and heat from the sun when heating, but work against these heat sources when used for air conditioning. Like a refrigerator or air conditioner, these systems use a heat pump to force the transfer of heat. Heat pumps can transfer heat from a cool space to a warm space, against the natural direction of flow, or they can enhance the natural flow of heat from a warm area to a cool one.
