Hot water solar panels are in interesting way to start out converting your home to solar power. In this video, you will see an comparison demonstration of various hot water solar panel systems.

Side by side testing of eight solar water heating systems

A DTI funded study on solar panel performance highlighted the need for zero carbon solar thermal systems because the operational carbon clawback exceeded 20% for old styles of solar panels. To save energy, there was one zero carbon solar panel, Solartwin, whose design innovations were validated by the study. Solar energy is not negated by “parasitics” by the best solar panel designs.

Home solar energy is one of the fastest growing segments of the alternative energy world and for a good reason. Over the past few years, the cost has dropped to a level that it is actually affordable to install. You can even do it yourself for a fraction of the cost.
