FACT SHEET

 
 
  • Most Heliodyne solar hot water systems will pay for themselves within 10 years
  • Payback is likely to be sooner as the inflation of conventional energy costs increases at a faster pace
  • Many tax incentives and rebates are available from both the Federal and State governments
  • A typical residential system for a single family home can be installed in 1 or 2 days
  • Very little maintenance is required during the life of Heliodyne systems
  • A Heliodyne System will usually save owners hundreds of dollars annually on their water heating bill

  • More than $13 billion is spent on energy for home water heating in the U.S.

    Equivalent to 11.4 barrels of oil per American home
    Equivalent to an average automobile being driven 12,000 miles per home

  • Conventional water heating accounts for over 30% of CO2 emissions from the typical American home
  • There are over 100 million water heaters installed in the U.S. Approx. 50% are electric, and 50% gas, providing a huge untapped potential for solar hot water
  • Solar thermal energy is free and can usually provide up to 80% of the annual energy to heat domestic hot water
  • A solar hot water system significantly reduces a home’s CO2 emissions by up to 30%
  • Solar thermal is the most financially feasible renewable source for hot water and space heating
  • Over 1.5 million American homes have had solar hot water systems installed
