I don't have one but know people that do and they are happy with them. Probably the best solar type investment in terms of payback time period. I also know a plumber that sells and installs them in the Cabarete area.
The problem with the solar one's as I understand it is when the sun doesn't come out a lot there obviously is little heating. Here in Santiago we can go for almost a week without the sun being real hot so I believe you will need a backup.
90k seems high. The condo where I live in Sosua got quotes in 2009 and two apartments bought them and had them installed on the roof. Much less than d90k each. Even considering the time difference, your 90k quote seems high.
I suggest you contact Easy Power at easypower@drpowerservice.com. The quotes we got were for the Megasun and Mega Sol solar systems.
are these ferretarias? Are they located in Santiago?Pappatera ,and Linares, have them on sale starting at just under $900US, depending on size of course. I know a lot of people that have them and they swear by them
are these ferretarias? Are they located in Santiago?
I live in an apartment (rental) in the colonial zone of Santo Domingo. We have two of the solar heaters on the roof and I have NEVER been without hot water. Ever. They work great and there have been days on end without sun and again, we have NEVER been without hot water. I have no idea of the cost or installation, but I can tell you the only problem we have is that the water is too hot.
Lol, very practicable. I remember when I used to put out gallons of water on the sun and wair few hours till shower time.This shouldn't be complicated..... for cheap cheap, just run your hose on the roof. It'll get hot - too hot.
Few solar systems will allow you a hot MORNING shower..... remember that.
Are those two that are installed serving only your apartment?

They serve the entire building, which has 3 apartments.
