A solar warm system has a solar collector that catches the sunlight. The sunlight goes through the solar glass and hit metal that absorbs the sunlight and converts it into heat waves and the glass is glazed to prevent the heat from escaping like a greenhouse effect. The temperature in these solar panels can be very high.
The heat is then transferred to the water which sits in an insulated storage tank. Solar heater storage tanks are larger than traditional storage tank because we only have so much sunlight so it needs to store more water. On a single family home you will only need 1 to 2 solar collector panels to work efficient.
Solar heater systems are not as expensive as regular solar system with an array of solar panels on the roof. There are guides out there where you can build your own solar heater system under $400 dollars if you are good with your hand if not, residential solar water heater systems cost between $1000 and $4,500, compared to $200 to $500 for electric and gas heaters.

With the tax rebated that the government is offering for using alternative energy you will be saving hundreds from the start. Solar heating are also great for heating pools and spas and they last much longer than conventional water heater.
