Solar water heaters have been in existence since the beginning of the 20th century. Briefly, they were a popular item, competing with expensive coal at the time. Solar water heating was an inexpensive alternative.
Then, along came inexpensive natural gas, and the popularity of solar water heaters quickly declined. While some homes still invested in these solar heaters over the years and continued to see energy savings, the majority of Americans enjoyed the ease and comfort of natural gas.
Now in the 21st century, Americans are facing a time of uncertainty about the future. When will we run out of non-renewable natural resources like natural gas? What harmful effect might global warming have on the environment? In such a time, solar water heaters are, once again, becoming popular. Many countries have already adopted the technology behind these heaters, and they encourage their inhabitants to use them. The movement to adapt to green, renewable energy sources has been affecting citizens worldwide. Many states and communities have financial incentives for energy efficiency in the home, including rebates for the installation and use of solar water heaters.
