It's a perfectly mature and proven technology.
2. Decentralization
The thermal energy produced at points of demand. This avoids the huge transmission losses through the electricity network.
3. Autonomy
Avoid huge expenditure on imported energy and insecurity due to dependence on imported energy resources. 70% of energy consumed, when the sun is free and there everywhere.
4. Development
The strengthening of the domestic market will increase the quality of Greek products to address the competitive environment for exports.
5. Jobs
Already over 3,500 people are employed in industrial thermal systems in Greece. Further market growth means new jobs in a clean technology.
6. Ease
The installation of a solar collector is simple. And the maintenance required is minimal.
7. Saving money
For the ordinary consumer, the solar water heater is simple and attractive way to cut their energy bills. The average annual profit could rise to 100 euros.
8. Saving
For Greece, the savings already occurs is very important. The installed solar water heaters already saving 1.1 billion kilowatt hours per year that produces as much energy as a conventional power plant, capacity of 200 megawatts. Without the solar panels would be a significant force deficit, particularly in the electrical isolation of the islands would face so frequent blackouts, especially during the summer tourist season.
9. Environmental Protection
Prevent the release of large quantities of pollutants that harm the environment and public health.
10. Climate change
Prevent the consumption of fossil fuels and consequently emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) that cause global climate change. A typical thermosyphonic system for domestic use produced in Greece 840-1080 kWh per year, and avoiding the release of 925-1200 pounds of CO2 per year, but that would be absorbed by 1.5 acres of forest.
