If you’re living in the Central Valley, you already know: the sun is one thing we never run short on. And while it’s great for your garden and pool days, it’s also one of the most powerful (and underutilized) energy sources for your home, especially when it comes to heating your water.
At Sol-Tek Solar, we’re here to help you harness that sun power and turn it into real savings and comfort with our solar hot water systems. Whether you’re building a new home or upgrading your current system, solar water heating is one of the easiest ways to reduce your utility bills while boosting your home’s energy efficiency.
Why Go Solar for Water Heating?
You might not realize it, but heating water accounts for roughly 30% of your home’s energy use. This is typically the second-largest energy expense in any home. That’s a major chunk of your utility bill, one that’s directly affected by rising electricity and gas prices. A solar water heating system taps into the sun’s free energy to supply your household with hot water all year long, cutting your dependency on traditional utilities.
The Everyday Benefits of Solar Water Heating
Here’s what you can expect when you switch to a solar hot water system:
Lower Utility Bills
Solar water heaters can reduce your water heating costs by up to 80%, depending on your usage and system size. That’s savings you’ll feel right away, and over time, it adds up to thousands of dollars.
Cleaner Energy for a Greener Tomorrow
Choosing solar means fewer carbon emissions. Our systems run on clean, renewable energy and produce zero greenhouse gases. It’s a simple change with a big environmental impact.
Increased Home Value
Eco-friendly upgrades are a major selling point for buyers. Solar water heaters make your home more attractive on the market and can even improve resale value, especially as more people prioritize sustainable living.
Built to Last. Maintained by Experts.
At Sol-Tek Solar, we don’t just install your system and leave you hanging. Our team offers full-service maintenance to ensure your investment stays efficient and reliable for years to come.
Regular Maintenance
Routine checkups every 3–5 years help your system perform at its best. We’ll inspect fluid levels, flush the tank, clear debris, and make sure all components are in top shape.
Emergency Repairs
If anything ever goes wrong, our technicians are on call to get your system back up and running with minimal downtime. We know how important hot water is—and we’ll make sure you never have to go without it.
Get Paid to Go Solar
Here’s the kicker: you can get a 30% federal tax credit on your solar water heater installation, which significantly lowers the upfront cost. But this incentive won’t last forever; it’s set to expire at the end of 2025. That means now is the time to act. With the credit, your system could pay for itself in just a few short years, then it’s all savings from there.
