How much can I save with a solar heating system?
The amount of available solar radiation is dependent on the time of year and your location.  The solar coverage rate measures the average amount of energy covered by a solar system in a year.  In northern climates, solar coverage can still be as high as 70%.  In the summer months a high-performance solar system typically covers almost all of the energy required to heat domestic hot water.  A solar system can make a real difference.  Not just by reducing your energy bill, but by reducing harmful CO2 greenhouse gas emissions as well.
