Solar Water Heater in Kerala

Why Choose Solar Water Heaters in Kerala?

The following are some of the reasons why installing solar heaters in Kerala is a viable option:

• Cost Savings and Long-term Value: Investing in a solar heater is a cost-effective option in the long run. You can save your buck on electricity and water bills by installing solar water heaters in commercial or residential spaces. Although the installation may be higher than traditional water heaters, the long-term savings are much higher. They are also low maintenance and have low operating costs, ensuring a quick return on investment.

• Government Incentives for Solar Adoption in Kerala: Over the years, the Kerala government has been running an active campaign promoting solar energy solutions across the state. Programs such as the Solar Water Heater Programme by the Agency for Non-Conventional Energy and Rural Technology (ANERT) can be sorted out by people to receive subsidies on installation costs. These incentives make it more affordable for residents to switch to solar water heaters.

• Environmental Benefits: Solar water heaters are an eco-friendly alternative to traditional energy sources, as they use the sun’s renewable energy to heat water, reducing the reliance on fossil fuels. By choosing solar heaters, you contribute to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and help combat climate change, making it a sustainable solution for both residential and commercial users in Kerala.

• Benefits of Solar Water Heaters in Hot Climates:  In places like Kerala, it is actually a lucrative idea to install solar water heaters because it has plenty of sunlight all year round. By harnessing solar energy, you can avail a reliable and eco-friendly source of hot water. Through this use, you can reduce dependency on electricity and fossil fuels. This is ultimately beneficial as it reduces carbon footprint.

Types of Solar Water Heater Systems Provided by GSL Energy

GSL Energy offers a variety of solar water heater systems, each designed to meet different needs and efficiency requirements, providing sustainable and cost-effective solutions for heating water using solar energy. Here are the types of solar water heater systems provided by GSL Energy:
