Electric water heaters use electricity to heat water, while solar water heaters use sunlight. Electric costs Rs. 6,000–Rs. 15,000; solar costs Rs. 20,000–Rs. 50,000.
Key differences include:
- Electric works in all weather conditions including cloudy days
- Solar needs direct sunlight and doesn't work well without it
- Solar is more eco-friendly and reduces electricity bills by 70–80%
- Electric has lower upfront cost but higher running costs
- Solar has higher upfront cost but saves money over 5–7 years
- Electric heats water faster (15–20 minutes) than solar (2–4 hours)
