*An average family of 4 uses roughly 225 litres/day. This amounts to 5,000-8,500 kWh of energy required each year to heat the water (depending on the water heater's efficiency, and whether it uses electricity or natural gas). The solar water heaters above could reduce that energy use by anywhere from 2,000 to 2,800kWh/year, as shown in the column "Peak Performance". Peak performance in terms of heat output is based on RETScreen modelling of each system given no shading, south-facing installation (azimuth = 0), and a 45 degree sloped mount. **Supplier conditions may apply - contact supplier for complete warranty details.

Small and Seasonal Systems - Eligible for lower Solar Neighbourhoods incentive only The following systems produce less energy than larger or year-round system. As of October 1, 2009, only systems that produce at least 6 GJ of energy per year will qualify for ecoENERGY incentives (look for checkmark in second column). These systems may be appropriate for smaller households with lower hot water demand. |
