Sun Powered Water Heater Systems

The Solar Water Heater Rebate Initiative is intended for homes and just one application can be made per review number.

Funds are only given to candidates whose systems are set up with a acknowledged authority, solar manufacturer or supplier who has also been okayed to take part in the initiative. A well-designed solar water heater can heat nearly all of a family’s water , requiring little upkeep.

Solar water heaters energy from the sun rather than electrical power, reducing utility bills and are good for the planet as less fossil fuels need to be used.

The Minister of Energy said the initiative will proceed provided that there’s money in the budget.

Government needs Bermuda’s residents to take advantage of this rebate to reduce Bermuda’s dependence on outside fuel sources.
