I guess that solar heating is really worth it. It is so because during cold days we generally use geysers and it has a resistance coil inside it and it has a high resistance capacity and hence, it consumes a lot of electricity. If we use solar heaters, then we can same electricity and our monthly bills will also  get reduced.

Solar hot water systems do not use grid electric power yet the system makes hot water. I know you will be happy when you see the first 3 months electric bill reduction. Electric hot water heaters use a lot of electric power. The one in my home has two 1,500 watt heating coils and a 60 gallon tank. A solar hot water heat uses no electric power and can make hot water for free. You decide. Free verses your electric bill.
