  • 3rd party research shows quite the contrary, Pondman. The amount of energy a solar thermal system generates within the first year in sunny climates, and the first 1-3 years in cloudy climates, is equivalent to the amount of energy required to manufacture and install the system. The system will then run with little maintenance for 20-30 years, generating 10-30x the energy required to produce the system. Renewable energy is good for your wallet, the environment, and the economy.

  • Save the Earth! GO SOLAR!

    Solar thermal is WAY more efficient than solar Photovoltaics. (70-80% efficient v.s. the 17% max efficiency of solar photovoltaics.) It's clearly the first smart step to take when going solar.

  • Through careful research and cost analysis from raw materials to finished product, this product in our opinion has consumed 48% MORE energy to produce!

    Than the useful life of the product.

    How is that GOING GREEN? similar analysis is found on Solar panel production lines, also more energy consumed than the product will ever produce in a life time.

    Look in to these issues.
