Even as the economic news grows gloomier, some energy experts see solar water heaters as a bright spot on the horizon.
In his "Here Comes the Sun Shower" opinion piece in Tuesday's New York Times, Larry Hunter, a professor of physics at Amherst College, urged the Obama administration to support the use of residential solar water heaters. Hunter suggested that a $10,000 solar water heater could pay for itself in as few as six years if the government were to raise the federal tax credits from 30 percent to 40 or 50 percent.
Essential information: Read our report on tankless water heaters, another way to potentially save energy when heating water.
I have and still install many tankless heaters ... I would not be surprised within the next 10 years that all tank water heaters would be banned. Tankless heaters are huge ...taking me by storm.

One thing to remember, all these tankless water heaters will need serviced. There not like a hot water tank, they have way more mechanical features, they will also need flushed. Visit my blog for more info.
