Thinking of getting a solar water panel? Not sure if it's worth it? Here are 10 great reasons to get a solar water panel:

1: They can cut your heating bills and save you money. With the cost of just about everything going up being able to save money is a big bonus. Cutting your heating bills in half each month will save you a lot of money.

2: Sunshine is a free and renewable source of energy. Using solar water panels help you decrease your carbon footprint.

3: No gas or oil tank means no worrying about leaks, refills and the cost of heating your water. Go ahead and take a long hot shower. You will not have to worry about the cost of oil.

4: You get a tax credit for having a solar water heater. The credit is for 30% of the cost including labor and installation. That is money back for already doing something that will save you money.

5: Solar water panels are not just used for heating. You can use the energy they collect to help cool your house as well.

6: They actually make your home more efficient at temperature control (which ends up saving you even more money).

7: If you are ...
... tech savvy or even good with your hands you can build your own solar water panel. Many websites have instructions for building your own solar water panels for as little as $5.

8: They're low maintenance. No checking the pilot light or making sure there is oil in the tank.

9: That great feeling of satisfaction you will have knowing how much money you saved and how much you are helping the environment. You'll be able to brag to your friends about the money you are saving and have them asking you for advice.

10: Once you see how easy it is you may want to convert to solar power for your entire house.

However you look at it solar water panels add up to savings for you and a better environment for the world. Take the plunge. The only thing you have to lose is your high energy bill.
