Many notable benefits accompany the solar and wind water heaters such as the low cost of start up. In contrast to the conventional electricity these heaters are cheaper to install; the process is simple for you do not need to pay any external people to connect you to their grid, or pay assessment of you premises as in electricity. Any home can install these heaters and utilize them without many problems.

The initial cost of installation marks the only cost you will ever incur. After installation the cost of running the wind and solar boilers is almost zero. Sunlight and wind are naturally free resources hence you will not need to pay a dime to tap them. The maintenance also is very little; these gadgets can run for year without the need for service. In the case of the windmill the only service needed is the lubrication of the movable parts.

By the use of the various power storage equipment such as the cell batteries the harnessed power can be stored over long times. The process involves the charging of the batteries for later use of the energy; this means that you can heat the water at anytime of the day. In other cases the hot water is stored in insulated vessels to keep them hot for longer periods. In the modern days these two power sources have proved to be very effective and are being used in business such as hotels and other boarding institutions.

In wind and solar power generation there are no emissions in terms of smoke or dangerous radiations or chemicals. This makes it very safe for generation and use anywhere for it is environmentally compliant; it does not add any unwanted compounds to the environment. The process is silent thus no noise pollution is evident.

The solar and wind power comes in direct current (DC) unless converted to Alternating current (AC) making it very safe. The amounts that are released are of voltage making it very hard to cause severe accidents due to leakages. The water boilers are always away from the point of use enhancing the safety further.

The simplicity of these power generators makes them very easy to install anywhere. The parts are detached for ease of transport; assembly is done onsite. Also due to the lower power voltages involved no complex wiring and inspection is needed. These two power boilers can be installed by individuals through the do it yourself manuals.

Another advantage of the solar and wind power initially aimed at just heating the water is that it can also be used to power other electric equipment in the house. The voltage produced mainly depends on the number and size of windmills and the solar panels. You can install extra equipment to tap more energy that will be used in the house cutting the electricity bill into a considerable level.
