A lot of people think that solar power is the way of the future, but at Solar Help Hawaii solar power is happening right now! For over 25 years the eco-conscious team from Solar Help Hawaii has been helping Honolulu area residents and business owners transition to solar living and diminish their energy bills. 

If you’re interested in taking advantage of the incredible power of alternative energy, start small with a solar water heater! According to the team from Solar Help Hawaii, you don’t have to go all or nothing on solar power. In fact, replacing just one major appliance with a solar version is a great way to start down the path to lower monthly bills and a lower carbon footprint.

Still not sure if a solar water heater is right for you? Here’s how they work: 

• Sunlight For Power: Solar water heaters use roof-mounted solar panels to heat water during daylight hours and then store it in tanks for use around the clock. As you can imagine, this is especially efficient in places like Hawaii that typically enjoy hours of sunlight year round. 
• Backup Systems: The main concern people have when switching to solar power is what happens during overcast days or weeks. According to Solar Help Hawaii, solar water heaters have a built in backup that automatically utilizes electric power if the solar panels fail to collect adequate energy to heat your home’s water. 
• Save Money On Bills & Taxes: A solar water heater can definitely save you money on your monthly expenses, but it can also save you money on taxes. Many solar water heaters are eligible for an automatic $750 rebate from the Hawaii Energy Efficiency Program, a 30% federal tax credit, and a 35% state tax credit!
