Solar thermal (ST) is one of the most cost-effective renewable energy systems. Solar thermal water heating systems collect the sun's energy in the form of thermal or heat energy. The system can save a major portion of your utility bill. This solar thermal system will cost about $4,600 US (with the price decreasing all the time). 2  A solar pool heater, popular and practical, is an open loop system. 3  It's called this because water circulates back into the pool, which is (of course) an open system.
At $45,000, a solar energy system equates to $9,000 a kilowatt. The $9,000 per KW for solar is not very helpful in comparing electric generation costs to other fuels like coal or gas. Since coal, oil, and gas can be measured on a cost per KWH, we should measure solar costs on a KWH basis.verage solar panel output = 10.6 watts per square foot. Average solar energy system costs = $8.95 per watt. In order to compare the solar energy costs to conventional hydrocarbon fuels, we must covert the $8.95 per into KWH.
