Florida State and Federal Rebates

- A well designed system will provide 50-80% of a home's hot water needs (less in winter, more in summer).
- There should be 10-15 square feet of solar collector area for each person in the household.
- The storage tank should hold 20-30 gallons per person.
- There should be no shade on the collectors during the hours from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM year round.
- The collectors should face as close to south as possible (ideally facing south, but can be 45° east or west of south (between southeast and southwest), and be tilted at a 45 degree angle (ideally 45° from the horizon, but can be between 20° and 60°).
- The collectors and storage tank should be in close proximity to the backup heat source and jpt water distribution system to avoid excessive pipe losses. The pipes need to be well insulated.
- Mixing valves or thermal shutoff devices should be employed to protect from excessively high temperatures.
- Select systems that are tested and certified by the Solar Rating and Certification Corporation (SRCC).
- Certification Requirements
In order for a collector model to be certified and rated by SRCC, the collector must first pass a series of tests performed on a sample unit which has been randomly selected by SRCC from the manufacturer’s production.
In order to Receive State or Federal Rebates and/or Credits, Your Solar Hot Water System MUST be Certified by the Solar Rating and Certification Corporation (SRCC)
