Choosing to invest in solar has become more beneficial for Santa Clarita Valley community members and property owners to save more on their energy bills and to contribute to a cleaner and more eco-friendly environment.

With numerous trusted and reputable SCV solar companies within the Santa Clarita Valley, there are more opportunities than ever for property owners to improve their property with the use of solar panels and solar water heating.

As an additional opportunity, Pick My Solar may assist families and communities to find their trusted solar dealer to begin the process of becoming more environmentally friendly and learning more about the options available for them.

When examining the two options, solar electric systems use the sun’s energy to generate power for homes, while solar water heating systems pump hot water, heated by the sun, into homes. The benefits of implementing solar energy offers individuals a clean source of energy to support their household appliances, while reducing their carbon footprint, potential savings on users energy bills and offers a year-round and free energy collecting service.

Solar water heating (SWH) system costs depend on the size of the property, size of family and heat usage. Clients must also consider the storage volume; a small (50- to 60-gallon) storage tank is usually sufficient for 1-3 people, a medium (80-gallon) storage tank works well for 3-4 people and a large tank is appropriate for 4-6 people.

Pick My Solar may offer clients to find a consultation service around their residence to assist customers with reviewing solar water heating (SWH) services appropriate for their property, potential system maintenance services and types of solar water heating systems, along with potential financing and warranty options available for their installation.

Solar water heating (SWH) systems, also known as solar thermal systems, may be the necessary addition for Santa Clarita residents and businesses. Although there are different types of solar water heating (SWH) systems, the most common ones are domestic hot water systems, swimming pool and hot tub-heating systems, space heating systems (radiant) and combi systems (a combination of any of the others).

The system operates with solar thermal collectors (panels) installed on a roof or other location to absorb solar energy. Then, a low-energy pump makes the solar liquid circulate through the collectors and delivers heat to a water storage tank. Lastly, the solar-heated water in the storage tank pre-feeds the primary water-heating system and the boiler or water heater is either not activated, or activated for less time than if there were no solar hot water system.

Solar energy systems, like solar water heating systems, are especially beneficial to the Santa Clarita Valley community. Santa Clarita Valley (SCV) solar members experience long summers with high temperatures and strong sunlight, which provides members with the confidence to install their renewable energy alternatives with little hesitation.

Additionly, there are many potential tax incentives and cash rebates available for Santa Clarita citizens investing in more environmentally solutions.
