Solar Water Heating Rebate

Harness the Sun's Power to Heat Water In Your Home

Water heating is one of the largest consumers of electricity in your home after heating and cooling. Use of a solar water heater, with a backup electric heater, can cut those costs in half, according to the US Department of Energy. While the purchase of a solar water heating system can take several years to pay for itself, you can recover that cost more quickly by taking advantage of a $500 rebate from Blue Ridge Electric along with progressive tax credits from the federal and state government.

Adding a solar water heater may be one of the best home investments you can make among solar technologies. Today’s solar water heating systems require almost no maintenance, so they are both easy to own and inexpensive to operate. Their popularity is increasing for several reasons. Solar water heating systems are reliable, adaptable, and pollution-free because they use renewable energy from the sun. Many systems include sleek, attractive, low-relief collectors that people often mistake for skylights.

A solar water heating system is a substantial but rewarding investment. It can reduce your monthly electric bill while helping to protect our environment. Being informed and planning carefully will ensure that you’ve chosen the right system. Because of revised federal and state incentives along with Blue Ridge Electric’s $500 rebate to members, installing a solar water heating system has never been a better deal.
