In this volatile world we live in today it’s nice to know there’s something out there to count on. What’s that something? The sun! As energy sources deplete and prices skyrocket, one thing will always remain free and accessible; the sun’s energy. So once you’ve installed your solar heating system you’ll never have to worry about going cold again.

Solar heating can be used to heat pools, the water for your shower or to heat a room. By using the sun’s rays you can stay warm with safe clean energy.

Ever gone swimming in a lake in June and you could barely get in the water because it was so cold, but then go back in August and the water was much warmer. That’s because it takes a long time to heat a large body of water. For a large lake, sometimes several months. The same applies to a pool. Only the sun can heat it much faster. Keeping a pool warm is essential to its enjoyment. A traditional pool heater can cost you hundreds or thousands of dollars in electricity costs to keep your pool warm. Solar pool heaters will heat your pool quickly and keep it warm year round, extending your swimming season. And other then buying the heater, it will cost you nothing! Plus it’s less likely to break, which means years of pool fun.

Another type of solar heating is solar water heaters. There are active and passive solar water heaters. The basic difference is that active water heaters contain electrical components while passive heaters do not. This means that passive water heaters are generally more reliable because they’re less likely to break. A solar water heating system features two main components, a solar collector and a solar tank. The system harnesses the sun’s energy to heat the water. Depending on the day and how hot it is, water temperatures can reach upwards of 100 degrees.

The last type of solar heating is the type that can be used to heat the air. Much like solar water heating, solar space heating systems can be passive or active. Passive systems are less expensive because they don’t have electricity costs. They are also less likely to break and thus will last longer. However, if you are trying to heat a large area such as a building, it might be better to go with an active system which incorporates fans and pumps to help circulate the air.

Whether you use a solar pool heater, solar water heater, solar space heating or all of the above, one thing’s for sure; the environment will thank you and so will your wallet.
