Lately, I seriously think of investing in a solar water heater for the domestic hot water supply of my home.
The investment with all the accessories and put into operation amounts to $ 300. By making a simple calculation, the investment is depreciated within a year, perhaps one and a half years.
Apart from the fact that it seems a little unsightly, the investment seems to have no disadvantages. It's probably a matter of habit.
In the Mediterranean countries I've seen that all buildings are provided with such systems.
