Advantages of Solar Water Heating Systems in Kenya

• Safe for the environment- there is no greener energy than that sourced from the sun. They have no dependency on fuels, have zero-emission, and have lower carbon footprints. A home becomes Eco-friendlier, plus tax incentives may be available for using renewable energy in some countries.
• Efficiency-close to 80 percent of the sun’s radiation is turned into the heat energy needed to obtain hot water at home. This is one of the primary reasons why solar water heaters outweigh any other form of energy is that when it comes to heating water.
• Low maintenance-Solar water heaters have low maintenance. It only demands simple cleaning of the tubes off any accumulated silt or soil from the water. As it does not contain any moving parts, there will be no tears and breaks which would need regular repairing attention. After installation, little maintenance is required, and a solar water heater can run for up to 20 years.
• Saving on space: Solar thermal panels are usually less space-intensive compared to traditional boilers.
• Choice of size- solar water heaters are available from 150L to 360L hence one can easily get a system fit for usage according to the number of people in a house
