How do Solar Hot Water systems compare with an on demand water heater?
There are three costs which should be analyzed when making this comparison: • The purchase price • The cost of operating the system • Maintenance costs Although a solar hot water system costs more than an on-demand system, a SHW system costs virtually nothing to operate. Thus over the long run, you should save significantly more by employing a SHW system versus an on-demand system. In addition, a SHW system should last longer and require less maintenance than an on-demand system.
