Great question. If you don’t use energy like electricity or gas to heat the water, you are saving the energy it took to produce those things and therefor helping the environment. Natures sun and wind are free energy.

If you don’t use electricity from the grid, gas as the source of your water heater, you don’t make a pressure on environment. Solar energy is clean, and it will be everywhere. Solar panels change sunshine into electricity. The process doesn’t need to pollute our environment. It’s completely clean and green.

A typical installation would cover a space of say 2 by 4 meters. That area would be heated any how, by the sun and it would cool down inthe night. If you make the installation the sun energy will not be wasted to heat up a part of your roof but it will be used to heat up water for your shower. So zero energy used from the grid.
