A good way to start using solar energy is by installing a Solar Hot Water (SHW) system. The overall cost is much less than a solar electric system (PV); it takes up much less roof space (and fewer roof penetrations) and is a more efficient means of harnessing the suns energy  (60-80% efficiency).  Rather than heating your homes hot water by using a traditional gas, electric or direct to boiler water heating system, you can use solar energy and save a lot of money! On average, the US Department of Energy estimates that your water heating bills should drop 50% - 80%. Also, because the sun is free, you're protected from future fuel shortages and rising energy costs!

Other financial incentives include:

• Federal tax credits that help pay 30% of the cost, and many states and utilities offer additional financial support. NJ will have program very soon!
• Between tax credits and energy savings, the system offers a faster return on your investment than other solar energy systems and has lower first-time start up cost than solar electric systems.
• Your home’s value is likely to increase as it will have lower operating costs (utility bills). A study by The Appraisal Journal found that home values increase $20 for every $1 reduction in annual utility bills.

You’ll also be helping the environment:

• Solar energy does not produce harmful emissions or require transportation or pipelines like electric energy does and the suns energy is an unlimited resource.
• Solar water heating systems installed in the U.S. help reduce our household energy consumption, and the nation's reliance on toxic fossil fuels and they work anywhere in the U.S., not just in southern states.

In the past, some solar panels have looked like bad science experiments, not very good for the curb appeal of your home. We have selected VELUX as our lead system because appearance counts. You’ll love the look of these panels. VELUX, a European manufacturer of skylights, has designed the collectors to hug the roofline, creating a streamlined, aesthetically pleasing appearance. In fact, you can combine VELUX panels and skylights and use both solar and daylight solutions.

Renewable Resource Systems is an authorized VELUX Solar Hot Water installer. We have completed advanced training required by VELUX, to design, install and service your solar system. As such, you’ll benefit from the great support that VELUX provides both installers and end-users, with these great solar products.
