Solar Hotwater for a Rental Property
I have a 4-unit property in Maine that I provide heat & hot water that are currently off of the oil fired boiler. Looking at yearly summary, i spent 7k on oil last year. It is cost prohibitive to install 3 new heating systems to separate them out and put it on the tenant (my first choice.) I do have plenty of South facing roof space and I am thinking of installing solar hot water panels to preheat the water for DHW and the heating system. Has anyone looked into or done this at any of their properties?
