Your solar water heater carbon reductions

By using renewable energy sources such a Solar Thermal, Solar PV, Wind, Hydro and Geothermal, you can rely on fossil fuels less, and directly reduce CO2 emissions.

On average, for every 1kWh of energy produced by a coal power station, 1kg (2.2pound) of CO2 is produced. Burning natural gas for electricity production or water heating produces about 450grams of CO2 for every kWh of energy produced.

In the average household, water heating accounts for around 30% of CO2 emissions.

By installing a solar water heater, which can provide between 50-70% of your hot water heating energy needs, you can reduce your total CO2 emissions by more than 20%.
