How do Greeks arrange their homes to get the most out of the heat

Life in a warm and sunny country has only advantages only in rainbow-colored booklets with advertising. In fact, every person buying a home in Greece faces a number of problems. One of them is three hundred sunny days a year.

Do you think this is good? Sometimes the temperature can reach 40 degrees Celsius, or even higher. Still, don't be upset if you've already decided on a move or a long vacation in a rented house. The Greeks have long since solved this problem, having gained their advantages from it.

The easiest way out of the situation is to use solar energy. Seems like it's just for the environment? You should calculate how much electricity you will spend on air conditioners and fans ...

Walking through the streets of Greece, you will be amazed at the variety and number of different solar panels installed on the rooftops. They are completely silent and save significant amounts of money. There is enough energy for the whole house, because the sun is an inexhaustible source of energy, and people can enjoy the comfortable temperature at home.

Our autonomous system cost 5,000 euros and paid off in two years. Today we do not pay for electricity and are not afraid of the heat!

Many families from apartment buildings in Greece cannot afford their own, so a more powerful battery is bought for all.

Of course, the batteries, like all others, gradually run out, but since 2011 we have not had to change.

In addition to solar panels, the Greeks also install special boilers. And so, you don't have to pay for hot water. Usually a solar water heater comes as a gift when buying a battery. During the day there are no problems with water, but in the evening you need to save.

An interesting fact, some guests of cheap hotels in Greece often encounter an abrupt cessation of the pressure of hot water. Everyone wants to save money! Be careful and clarify this issue in advance, or just look at the roof.
