Cheap Solar Hot Water

With our world quickly using up all of the Earth’s resources, green energy is the ultimate choice in living on an Earth friendly basis. Up until now there has only been on thing keeping homeowners from switching to a completely green lifestyle, the price. The cost of going green is very high and homeowners tend to be unable to afford the cost of the home renovations that are green. Today, new hope for a greener tomorrow offers homeowners solar heated water, cheap.

The new green idea on the horizon is a solar water “mattress”. The mattress is filled with water and is heated by solar energy. The solar water tank can heat the water inside to 80 degrees C or 176 degrees F. According to the product specifications, the solar water heater can heat up to three tank fulls of water a day. This heated water can be used for all sorts of home uses from the bath to the kitchen.

Water is traditionally heated with electricity or gas and can cost large amounts of money over the years. Traditionally homeowners look to the cost of a product in the beginning versus the long term savings a product will provide. This is the ultimate reward from the solar water heater. The solar “mattresses” sell for less than $200 US (GDP 100) and offer a renewable source for hot water. Due to the newness of the inflatable water heater, the longevity of the product and the overall durability has not yet been proven.
