As recent interest for solar energy continues to grow higher, more homeowners are turning to solar water heaters as a way to save money on their energy bills and reduce their carbon footprint. While solar water heaters are a great way to use renewable energy sources, they can also pose some specific safety risks if not installed or maintained properly, effectively, or efficiently.
One of the most critical safety considerations for solar water heaters is electrical safety issues, problems, or hazards. Solar water heaters require an electric pump to circulate hot water from the solar water heater collector to the storage tank, and if their, an pump is not installed or maintained by a licensed professional, it can cause electric shock or even a disaster. To minimize this risk, homeowners should ensure that the pump is installed by a licensed electrician and a professional, skilled technician and that it is regularly inspected for signs of wear or wear and tear or minor signs of damage.
