Nowadays there are many options of energy like nuclear energy, fossil fuels and many others that are very popular and easy to use too. But these sources of energy are not renewable, and they are causing damage to our environment. As you know thermal power plant consumes huge amount of coal, and releases Co2 in almost the same quantity, which is hazardous to our earth and human lives. There is an alternative renewable energy, solar energy, which comes from the sun. No doubt the solar energy is not so commonly used because of the lack of awareness. In US, almost two third of the people, who previously used geyser, now use solar water heater and they realize that they are saving a lot of money from it.
Today, it is not so difficult to make solar panels and if you want to make solar water heater you just require its blue print, which is easily available in any departmental store, and you have to go to any hardware store and buy the solar plates and other required materials. Furthermore you have to follow it step by step. And you will find that it is easier than what you assumed it to be. It is still a misconception that making own solar water heater will cost higher, in fact, apart from saving money you have lots of advantages like you can choose your model, capacity, and other aspects according to your wish.
Benefits of homemade solar water heater:
1. Cost - The required material is available in local hardware shops in your area and you can install it by yourself so there will not be any labor cost.
2. Saving on electricity bill - When you will use this water heater you will realize that you are saving one forth of your electricity bill in comparison to using the electric geyser.
