What is SUNWATER?
SUNWATER is a project to bring solar water heaters
to the mid-Vancouver Island and Lower Mainland areas of B.C. The product
chosen for the SUNWATER project is the Sunwell
SW200 Solar Water Heater made in Delta, BC by Taylor Munro Energy
Systems Inc.
For a downloadable pdf version of the SunWater brochure,please click
on
page one, and page two.
Who is SUNWATER?
SUNWATER is an EarthFEST legacy project sponsored by The
Earth Festival Society, in conjunction with Taylor
Munro Energy Systems Inc. A special contribution from the Renewable
Energy Deployment Initiative of Natural Resources Canada is helping
us reduce the price. Financing by Homeworks, a subsidiary of BC Gas,
enables homeowners to buy the heaters on a low-payment monthly installment
plan.
Who is eligible for the program?
Homeowners with suitable houses or cottages in the Lower Mainland
and mid-Vancouver Island areas of B.C. Residents of Gulf Islands are
also eligible, but there is a small surcharge to cover ferry costs.
How do I learn more?
SUNWATER offers a real alternative to people concerned about
climate change and the environment. If you are interested and would like
to find out more, fill out the questionnaire
.
How much energy will I save?
The SunWell solar
water heater will deliver between 3 and 4 gigajoules of energy per year,
depending on site conditions. This means that the solar water heater
can provide most of your summer hot water, if you save major hot water
use like baths and showers for the evening. In Spring and Fall, the solar
water heater preheats the water for your hot water tank. If your existing
water heater runs on gas or oil, using a SunWell
is equivalent to planting 3000 trees or taking a car off the road for two
months, in terms of avoided Greenhouse Gas Emissions.
How much does it cost?
Under the SUNWATER program, you can purchase the passive
solar water heater for $1,595 plus GST, a savings of $400
off the regular price. As well, $100 is deducted from the installation
cost. Homeworks financing is available. SUNWATER is also
looking at other financing options with local financial institutions, to
give you several good easy payment choices.
