Benjamin Carr, Ph.D. 👨🏻💻🧬#Solar #waterheaters were cool in 1980s. They could be again.
"[T]oday, hardly anyone is using these #solarwaterheaters even as #photovoltaic panels have popped up on the roofs of nearly 4 million American homes."
Cheap photovoltaics still make economic sense for many homes (unless you're heating a pool). "But the cost of #solarthermal could look like a bargain if we consider increasingly unreliable #electricgrids and the cost to the #climate from burning #fossilfuels."
