Solar Hot Water
JEA ShopSmart Pre-approved Contractor   People have used the sun to heat water for thousands of years. In fact, solar water heating was the standard in the 1920s in California and South Florida. Most people do not realize that it takes a massive amount of energy to heat water using electricity or gas. In fact, up to 30% of a home's energy consumption is used solely to heat water, on average! By having the equipment to harness the sun's thermal energy, homeowners can drastically reduce energy consumption, saving money and reducing many forms of pollution as well.

A properly selected, sized and installed solar hot water system will provide decades of cost savings and reliable performance. Installing a solar hot water system is the first — and most cost-effective — choice when turning to the sun for energy. Even if you desire to install a photovoltaic system, a solar hot water system is nearly always done at the same time because of both roof space efficiencies and economic "bang for the buck" reasons.

There are many types of solar water heating systems available and careful consideration must be taken to ensure both type and design are proper for your climate and demand. Only by consulting a licensed and credentialed solar professional can you ensure the proper system type and size is designed based on your building and needs. Call 904-468-SUN1 or email A1A Solar to conduct an complimentary solar site survey and energy consultation.
