Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about solar water heating in Jamaica
How much can I save on electricity?
Most households save 60-80% on water heating costs, typically JMD $3,000-$8,000 per month depending on family size and hot water usage patterns. Systems pay for themselves in 2-4 years.
What if there are several cloudy days?
Insulated storage tanks keep water hot for 24-48 hours. Backup electric elements automatically activate when water temperature drops below your set point during extended cloudy periods.
How do I qualify for JPS rebates?
Systems must be installed by certified installers (like us), meet minimum efficiency standards, and be properly documented. We handle the entire rebate application process on your behalf.
How long do solar water heaters last?
Quality systems last 15-20+ years with proper maintenance. Collectors have 10-year warranties, tanks come with 5-10 year warranties, and simple designs ensure reliable long-term operation.
Can I install on any roof type?
Solar water heaters can be installed on most roof types—metal, shingle, concrete, or tile. We assess structural capacity during site visits and recommend mounting solutions accordingly.
What maintenance is required?
Annual inspections to check for leaks, clean collectors, test valves, and verify backup element operation. Anode rods in tanks should be replaced every 3-5 years to prevent corrosion.
