SunCache Solar Water Heater
There are still many people who believe that “going green” is just too expensive, and in many cases that may be true. Adding photovoltaics still remains out of reach for many individual homeowners and even the cost of upgrading windows and doors can be economically unfeasible especially in these trying times. There are many products available out there that are lowering that price bar, and that trend looks like it will continue. I just ran across an article about a relatively new Solar Water Heating system called SunCache which looks quite promising. Listed as a 2008 Top-10 Green Building Product on www.BuildingGreen.com, the product developed by Davis Energy Group is billed as the lowest cost residential scale renewable energy system. An extensive use of plastic materials to reduce copper and aluminum content keeps prices low. It’s use is limited to warm climates as it could be susceptible to freeze damage.
For more information check out the SunCache system at www.harpiris.com. As there may be federal and state incentives to add a renewable energy source to your home, see what’s available at the Database for State Incentives for Renewables and Efficiency.
