Using hot water can be a necessity in many situations no matter how high your utility bills are. You see lots of power is needed to get you hot water and this power is obtained from burning fuel or using resources that are exhausting fast.  More scarcity means a higher demand and this leads to higher prices.  So even if you maintain the current level of hot water consumption every passing month or year you are paying more and more for the same amount of water. Of course the hot water requirement increases as your family expands.  Fortunately there is an easy way around.  You can use solar energy to obtain your daily requirement of hot water.

Sungate Energy Solutions provides cutting-edge solar hot water technologies that can bring down your utility bills significantly. Although the greatest benefit of a typical thermal installation can be derived by a larger family even smaller families can benefit from it. There is just a one-time cost that you incur during installation.  Many families  have experienced that 70% of their hot water comes from  the solar power equipment and the remaining from conventional sources.  In this manner you immediately save 70% of your energy costs as far as your hot water consumption goes.

The installation that gives you solar hot water doesn’t require much upkeep.  Every 3-4 years you need casual inspection and mild servicing.  Other than that it quietly works on its own.

Since we have no control over nature many people are apprehensive about the success of their solar hot water installations.  The solar energy technology is making great progress every passing week; yes it is the hot technology these days.  Even small amounts of sun can be converted into usable energy.  So even if you are  having a bout of cloudy weather you will keep getting your supply of hot water.  And anyway when your equipment cannot give you enough hot water your water is heated with your conventional power connection. In case you wonder you might get scalded on a very bright day this doesn’t happen.  There are some settings that keep the heat level to the desired level.

How does Sungate Energy Solutions help you save power and consequently lower your utility bills?  You must already have a water heater in your house and this water heater uses power according to the current temperature of the water being heated.  The solar hot water equipment raises the temperature of the water before supplying it to your actual water heater so it has to use less energy to raise the temperature of the water.  The water is already significantly hot by the time it reaches your  existing water heater and consequently your  energy consumption is less.

Is it too early to switch over to solar hot water when the technology is still developing?  Well, the technology was developing may be in the 80s or mid-90s; now it is already in an advanced stage and it no longer remains a fad. Very high end solar energy products are available from leading producers like Sungate Energy Solutions that you can use from the word go.  As mentioned above you can already get 70% of your hot water from solar energy.  A couple of years ago the percentage was 25-30%.

Once you decide to adopt solar water heating , the engineers from Sungate Energy Solutions conduct a survey of your house and present to you the most economical and efficient water heating solution. They perfectly realize that every family and household has unique requirements and expectations , so they provide a solution accordingly. When you are partnering with Sungate Energy Solutions you purchase only what you need.

Switching over to solar hot water not only saves money ; it also helps you reduce your carbon footprint.  Even if you can easily afford higher energy bills why put a strain on your environment?  Millions of tons of fuel is burned to produce energy used by all of us.  If we use less conventional energy , it means less fuel will be burned . Hopefully the world will reach a stage when they will no longer have to burn fossil fuels to get power for homes, businesses and transport.  That will be an ideal world as far as our environment goes.

More and more companies are look at solar power as a way to reduce operating costs and become greener. These days there are a huge advantage for companies that employ green practices from tax advantages from the federal government to increased consumer trust and willingness to do business with green companies. Solar energy for companies is not only becoming more affordable but it is a viable business model that can help your company survive the rising costs of doing business.

Perhaps one of the most powerful incentives for companies to go to solar power is the rising cost of utilities; this one cost alone can eat up a hefty amount of your profit margin, a cost that solar energy can give back. Most companies have huge open roofs that are ideal for solar panels, allowing them to install large numbers of these panels to take the sting out of these ever increasing bills.

Solar power is also a way to cut back on emissions something that the federal government is with increasing urgency requiring from companies. The more emissions you can cut back on the more profitable your company can be since you will be able to sell your emissions credits to other companies meaning that you will make a profit off of harnessing the power of the sun.

Finally tax credits for alternative energy sources just continue to rise every year, savvy companies that want to grow in this tight economy will take advantage of these credits and use them to invest back into their business.

Solar energy for companies just makes good business sense, if you would like to find out more about how solar energy can benefit your company contact The Sungate for more information and an evaluation.

To many people in Hayward, solar power is something that is used to provide hot water or heat their swimming pools. While this is true and these are both excellent uses for solar energy there is so much more that can be done by harnessing the power of the sun. The current political climate in California is almost as hot as the weather and one of the big rallying points for most politicians has been to rally around the concept of using solar energy as a way to cut back on the use of fossil fuels to provide power to the millions of homes and businesses in the state.

For the average homeowner there are now low interest home improvement loans specifically given for the installation solar power systems. Amounts of these loans can range anywhere from $5,000 to $50,000 up to a maximum of 10% of the value of the house. When you couple this with the huge tax break you get, up to 30%, and the various government sponsored grants that are available, it is hard to imagine why anyone would not want to convert to solar power and start enjoying virtually free electricity.

If the idea of getting your electricity for free sounds like something you might be interested in you can contact The Sungate. They can explain everything you need to know, answer your questions and give you an accurate quote for converting your home in Hayward to solar electricity. One last thought, the power company will actually pay you for any excess electricity that your solar system produces.

One of the biggest debates about solar has always been if it is cost effective enough to offset the cost of getting a solar system installed. The answer to this is that it depends on a lot of different factors including does your home get enough sun on a daily basis to generate the electricity that you need, is your electricity usage low enough to make a solar system feasible and will you qualify for any credits or other assistance in adding solar to a Hayward home.

The best way to determine this is to find a solar company that can do an energy audit as well as an evaluation of your home. These two processes will help you to determine what you can do to save energy as well as how much energy you will use and whether your home can sustain a solar system large enough to provide these resources. It will also help to evaluate if you are a candidate for a smaller system for some of the appliance specific systems that will do things such as heat your hot water or run your refrigerator or stove.

Then you will need to find out if you will be eligible for a tax credit from the government and if there are any other state, county or city benefits available to help with the cost of your solar system. In most cases a solar system can be expected to pay for itself in about 10 – 15 years once tax credits and any other discounts are taken into account, but in addition to that you will also increase the value of your home. The Sungate offers both energy audits and evaluations to help you make your solar power decisions.

Interest in harnessing the power of the sun is growing by leaps and bounds as more people realize that their utility bills are going to continue to skyrocket. Typically one of the first things most people look at is solar hot water systems. This may be because other than climate control (heating and air conditioning) the hot water tank is the biggest energy consumer in most homes. The other reason for this is that of all the solar powered systems a person can install in their house, this is considered to be the simplest.

Solar hot water can be achieved by the use of a simple roof top collector that supplies heated water to an inside storage tank. In most cases the collector is not much more than a series of water carrying pipes placed inside a low profile box that is lined with heat absorbing materials. The box is sealed with a glass top that lets the heat of the sun in, which in turns heats the water inside the pipes. The water is then piped into your existing hot water tank for your use; most systems rely on gravity to keep the hot water going and regular water pressure from your city mains to keep the system full.

Most solar hot water systems can be installed by a homeowner in a weekend even if they know almost nothing about plumbing. There are no wires to connect and only two plumbing connections to have to worry about. The kits you can buy from The Sungate will come with a complete set of do it yourself instructions that are easy to follow so that it should only take a few hours to be enjoying endless free hot water.

One of the highest drains on your electricity can be your hot water usage, for a family of 5 your hot water can run well over $500 a year and with the drastic increases in power prices that number is sure to rise. Solar hot water systems are one of the easiest fixes for your hot water bills however; the cost of a solar collector is far less than a full solar system and can offer you the fastest and one of the most dramatic results in your electricity bill.

Living in Southern California and Arizona heating water by solar power is a simple affair and one that can save you up to 15% off of your electric bill. A solar hot water system consists of a solar water collector that exists on your roof, then you can either use a gravity feed system or a pump to circulate the water to your hot water heater, which you choose will depend a lot on your house as well as your water usage. In general however, the warmer your climate is, the simpler that your system will be.

Generally the simple solar hot water systems are the least expensive of solar systems, but it will depend a lot on your current hot water heater and any retrofitting that may be required. The Sungate offers hot water systems and will come to your home to assess what you need and what you can expect it cost.

For those who live in the California/Arizona area the cost of taking a hot shower seems to keep getting higher with each electric bill. The endless hours of good strong sunshine make both of these areas ideal for the use of solar hot water systems. While that electric hot water heater in the garage may not be the biggest consumer of electricity in your house, when you have a family that showers every day the costs can add up quickly. A simple and relatively inexpensive way to fix this problem is to let the sun power your shower.

Solar hot water systems are the simplest form or solar energy usage available and in one way or another the sun has been used to provide hot water further back than recorded history. The Romans developed huge cisterns that were specifically designed to let the sun heat the water used for bathing. The modern system is not much more complicated although it does not use a cistern. Instead it consists of a collector that is mounted to your roof. Inside this collector is a series of pipes carrying water that will be heated by the sun before flowing back into your storage tank.

 In most cases this is your existing hot water heater. There are no pumps or electrical connections. The water moves by gravity and the pressure of the water line connected to your existing hot water heater. According to the experts at The Sungate your electric heating element may never kick on unless too many people are trying to take showers in a short period of time. Solar hot water systems can save you hundreds of dollars on your annual power bill while providing you with plenty of free hot showers.
