LAKEWOOD, N.J., Jan. 26, 2009 — Unlike the solar-electric PV industry, which desperately needed and received a 30% federal tax bailout to survive, solar swimming pool heating has always been the most cost-effective and environmentally friendly use of solar technology.
Due to its design, a solar swimming pool heater directly transfers solar energy to heat the pool water. As a result, it is 10 times as cost-effective and CO2 reducing per dollar of investment as compared to a solar electric PV system.
In fact, a solar swimming pool heating system, which can last for 20 years, can pay for itself from the savings in gas or electricity in as little as 3 years, while providing free heat from the sun to warm your pool.
So when Congress specifically excluded solar swimming pool heating from the recently extended 30% tax credit in its massive bailout bill, they did so because solar swimming pool heating is already cost-effective and doesn’t need a federal bailout.
Aquatherm Industries Inc. of Lakewood, NJ — http://www.warmwater.com — is proud to be the largest US manufacturer of solar swimming pool heating systems.
