It is easy to build your own solar mount bracket water heater but the question is - are homemade solar water heaters any good? The answer is a resounding yes, most definitely, and here's why.

The great thing about solar heating is that it works not only on sunny days but on cloudy days as well. Perhaps not as effectively but, when the source of your energy is free, absolute thermal efficiency is not a top priority. Even if twenty per cent of your hot water is coming from solar energy that still has a very positive effect on your utility bills as well as being a help in prolonging the life of your hot water cylinder.

What Is A Solar Water Heater?

pole Mounting structure water heaters are simple energy devices that are also environmentally green. Commercial solar hot water heaters usually cost many hundreds, even thousands, of dollars. They might look very smart, with lots of stainless steel and exciting logos, but they are exactly the same underneath as even the most basic homemade versions. And, if you build your own solar water heater, you will probably do it for less than one hundred dollars. The difference in cost might be explained to some extent by the use of more exotic materials but is mostly just profit, relying on the unwillingness of many people to do anything for themselves.
