River Crest Helps You Save Money on Hot Water
And we can also help you find out how much you will likely save with tax credits and other incentives on the cost of an energy-saving Solar Hot Water System. In our area, homeowners can save as much as 50%-75% on the cost of a system.
Give us a call at (410) 626-1241 ext.12 or use the form below so we can help you determine what your tax credits and incentive savings are likely to be.
Here are some facts about our Solar Hot Water Systems:
Surprising Savings via Tax Incentives and Grants:
- Federal tax credit of 30% of the system cost
- Maryland state grant of up to $2500
- Various county credits and grants that, together with the state and federal credits and grants, can help you reach 50%-75% of the total cost of the system.
In General:
- The payback of a new system (taking into account the tax credits and other incentives) can be as short as 3-5 years if you have a hot water load of 3+ household members. This assumes energy prices don’t increase. If they do, the payback period will be even shorter.
- The systems rarely if ever require maintenance and are designed to last for as long as 25-30* years (although we recommend testing it every 5 years and perhaps changing the glycol at that time).
- Water heating is responsible for 17% of a typical household annual energy bill. A properly sized and installed Solar Hot Water System in our area can provide approximately 75% of that energy annually.
- Only 30-80 square feet of unshaded roof space is needed, preferably on the south side of your home.
- Systems perform best if you have a minimum of 5 hours of unshaded roof space per day. Less unshaded time will lower the efficiency of your system but will still help.
- The systems we offer include backup hot water capacity for times of limited solar energy.
Valuable System Benefits:
- You save money now and for many years to come.
- You get more benefit from your taxes.
- You help reduce green house emissions and the use of fossil fuel.
- You demonstrate your support for renewable energy and help move the US towards energy independence.
- You reduce demands on our power grid, generating plants, and domestic energy reserves.
- You set an example for your kids and your community.
- You experience guilt-free soaks in the tub and long hot showers.
The tax credits and other incentives are for a limited time only.
