While solar electricity seems to be getting all the buzz, solar water heating systems are just as important in helping to drive down the need for electricity in and around Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter, West Palm Beach, North Palm Beach, Palm Beach, Palm Beach County, and the surrounding areas. And with all the abundant sunshine that we typically see each year, it makes sense to look at adding a solar water heating system to your property from Kasper Electrical.

Why Use Solar Electricity for Heating Water
It seems rather confusing when you think about it. You are using solar energy to create electricity, then using that electricity to heat your water. Why not just skip the middleman scenario and use solar energy directly to heat your water? That’s exactly what a solar water heating system does for you, and this provides a much needed and desired reduction in your electricity consumption. This can translate into fewer solar panels being needed for electricity generation, or you can have a larger battery bank for energy storage.
It is important that your solar water heating system be properly sized for your household. With more people in the same home, you will want a larger capacity system. When compared to photovoltaic panels, solar water heating panels are typically smaller, but they have a high efficiency rating for heating water. They are also low maintenance as well.
Get Professional Installation
Many homeowners look at a solar water heating system as a fairly simple setup, and while that is true in a general sense, the devil is in the details. A professional installation will help homeowners get the most from the system, including the optimization of the roof space so that both solar water heating systems as well solar electrical panels can reside on the roof. Professional installers will also be able to point out issues with shade on the property, as well as set the best angle for the panels.
Solar water heating systems just make sense given our climate in Palm Beach Gardens, Jupiter, West Palm Beach, North Palm Beach, Palm Beach, Palm Beach County, and the surrounding areas. At Kasper Electrical, we can provide you with professional consultation as well as installation and can help you have coexisting systems that take advantage of our naturally sunny days.
