 **Active Solar Heating**





Use active solar energy! It heats your water, while saving lots of energy!

 The issue of global warming is increassing at a fast rate. What we are doing when we turn on the hot water is turning on a gas burner which uses up our fossil fuels and releases carbon dioxide into the air. Only about 8% of the world uses solar energy to heat water, which is not a lot for an issue that can easily be fixed. Use active solar heating because it heats water by using the energy of the sun, which is a natural energy source that doesn't pollute the air. This a much more energy efficiant way to heat your water. The water in the active solar heating tanks also heat up just as fast as gas tanks if not faster than the traditional gas burning water heaters. Not only does it heat water, but it can also heat 40%-80% of your home. Although the cost of buying solar pannels is expensive, they don't have to be replaced making it, in the long run, cost less than the gas tanks, which have to be changed every 8-10 years.
