Installation & Maintenance Costs.

For installing solar heaters one has to take into account the solar resource, climate, your building code and safety considerations. After the installation it is required to maintain your system well. Passive systems do not need much maintenance. In active systems the plumbing and other usual water heating components require the usual maintenance as regular systems. Maintenance is required for every 3–5 years and the ones with electrical components need to have certain parts replaced after 10 years.

The initial costs of a solar system if financed and evaluated with energy costs, then the monthly cost of solar heat will work out cheaper than most regular hot water heaters. Also, the federal and local incentives are high
