Solar Water Heaters

ProgressivTube Passive Solar Water Heaters

Reasons for Installing the ProgressivTube

    1. Solar water heating reduces the monthly operating expense of the household.

    2. Reduced operating expenses give homeowners more cash for discretionary purposes, savings, etc.

    3. Solar water heaters are the only home appliance that saves money without reducing comfort or convenience.

    4. Solar water heating is a hedge against higher future energy costs, which are a certaintly.

    5. Reduce dependence on foreign oil and the need to build expensive new power plants.

    6. Solar is environmentally safe, conserves resources and reduces air pollution which casues acid rain, the ``Greenhouse Effect" and respiratory health problems.

    7. The ProgressivTube has no moving parts to fail or maintain.

    8. The unit doubles the hot water supply of the house when added to an existing water heater.

    9. The ProgressivTube unit comes with a Ten Year Factory Warranty, including freeze damage and has a minimum design life of 30 years.

    10.  Solar Energy is technology that contains the cost of the fuel in the initial price of the equipment.

    11.  Can be used as a stand alone heater; great for remote areas or where no electric is available for heating water.

    12.  Can be installed on almost any house as a retrofit, connecting to the existing water heater.

    13.  Can be installed on the roof or the ground.

    14.  The best time to install a solar water heater is when a home is being built. The homeowner is immediately in a positive cash flow position because the utility savings are far greater than the mortgage payment increment for the solar water heater.

Savings & Return on Investment

An average family of four uses 70 gallons of hot water per day at a cost of $480 per year*.

The typical Solar Water Heater will save 80% of the heating costs, or $384.00 per year.

A typical heater of this size (PT40) with hardware will cost $1766.00 (average with installation $2700).

The tax-free return on this investment would be 21.7% ROI ($384 / $1766)

                                                       ...with installation 14.2% ROI ($384 / $2700)

Calculate your own Tax-Free Return On Investment (ROI):

Estimated Savings $______ divided by Unit Cost $______ equals ___% ROI

*Based on 72F incoming water heated to 140F in Florida with an electric rate of $0.09 per kilowatt plus standby heat loss from a new water heater. As the age of the tank increases, the cost of operation increases. Your savings may vary based on your usage, temperature, climate and electric rate.
