The popularity of solar water heaters is increasing daily due to the many benefits that come with having one in your home.

A few years ago not many people had heard of them and less were even bothered with building a homemade solar water heater.

So What are the Benefits of Solar Water Heaters?

These days however, home owners have realized the many benefits that a solar powered water heater can provide not only in terms of reducing their carbon footprint but also in significant cash savings to their monthly electric bill.

Other benefits you will enjoy by building & fitting a solar water heater are as follows;

Inexpensive & easy to build

You can realize a saving of more than a third of your electric bill as your geyser, in terms of electricity consumption, is the most expensive unit in the house

You will reduce your dependence on the national grid

You won’t be affected by power outages

You could qualify for a rebate from the national power supplier.

You won’t be badly affected by electricity increases

So based on the above anyone would be crazy not to install a solar water heater in their home.

If you are reasonably handy and you are comfortable using a saw, hammer & tape measure you should have no problem with building & installing your own solar powered water heating system.
