    If one takes the family car out of the equation, water heating is the largest single source of an average home’s greenhouse gas emissions.It is also one of the largest consumers of power, using up around 25 to 35% of home energy. 
    People don’t realise that it is not expensive to install and maintain a solar hot water system.Fact is, within 2 years of installation, a solar hot water system will generally start paying for itself, so the savings start in earnest.
    A solar hot water system can save up to 90% of an average household’s hot water energy requirements.It can also save up to 3.4 tonnes of CO2 emissions from an average household per year.Of course, there are issues such as location, direction of the roof and the quality of the panels to consider but basically, most of th energy required for domestic hot water can come from the sun.  Any shortfall can be provided from conventional gas or electric supplies.  
    Electricity is becoming increasingly expensive and the search for appropriate renewable energy sources is gathering intensity.The case for solar power becomes even more convincing when one considers what electricity generation is costing us, and the environment.
    There have been significant technological developments in solar hot water systems in recent times.Systems can be used in any weather conditions from harsh desert heat to below freezing, and come in either a roof mounted or ground mounted option.
    Solar hot water isn’t restricted to new buildings.Many governments around the world are recommending that electricity driven hot water systems are replaced by solar systems.
    For example, eligible property owners, landlords and tenants in Australia qualify for generous rebates from Governmenet when they replace electric hot water systems with solar ones.Currently, eligible Australians can get a Solar Hot Water Rebate from government of 600 which will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.It is currently estimated that the average family can slash up to 0 off their annual energy bill by switching to solar hot water.  
    Perth solar hot water company, Solar MyWorld, have experienced a huge increase in demand for their systems since Government announced the rebates.People are under growing pressure to reduce their carbon emissions, and the company has seen this translate into increased demand for solar hot water systems.  
    A study, ‘Energy use in the Australian Residential Sector 1986-2020′ which was commissioned by the Australian Government, projected that residential energy consumption from 1990 to 2020 would increase by 56%.  However, water heating was the only major energy use predicted to decline over the study period, mainly as a result of Government and State energy programmes.In 2002, water heating energy use reached a peak at 92.4 petajoules (PJ) and is anticipated to slowly decline to 8.5PJ by 2020. 
    As a lifestyle change, solar hot water is one of the simplest and easiest – and most effective – changes people can make. There aren’t any negatives.It is both cost-effective and low maintenance and on top of that, is kind to the environment too.Moreover, a good quality Perth solar power hot water system should last at least 25 years, provided it has been installed by experienced professionals.  Now that’s a hot option!
