Even if you have to take out a loan from the bank, it will still make sense financially. Solar water heaters pay themselves off quickly, especially if you are heating with electricity now. If you are heating with gas, you will still get a good payback, but not as quickly as with electric.
There are very few cons to heating water with solar. You will have a back-up tank installed for when the sun cannot heat the water, so you should not experience running out of hot water due to the weather or time of day. The greatest Pro is that you will be heating your water with renewable energy. The sun rises everyday, and it’s warmth won’t run out for billions of years.
Try googling “solar hot water installer” or “solar hot water company.” Choose a company that has done lots of installations before and that is close to your home. A good installer should be able to tell you about any government rebates or incentives that will bring the cost of the system down, thus lowering your payback time.
