Solar Water Heater Panels
I would like to know how to install solar panels just to run my hot water heater.?
I want to know how many panels, the cost, where to get them, and how to install solar electricity just for my hot water heater. Thanks
Solar electricity just for hot water is inefficient and impractical. The way to do it is to use solar energy to heat the water directly.
Home Power magazine is a good place to learn about it. Some information is available free online. http://www.homepower.com/
It is easy to find information on do-it-yourself solar projects. Here is the first item that I found. http://builditsolar.com/
