Why choose hot water solar?

Free Sun Energy

A solar hot water system can significantly reduce this cost by using free energy from the sun.

Reliable Year-Round

Solar hot water systems can deliver consistent hot water even in cooler months.

Rebates Available

Government incentives and rebates (such as STCs) help lower the cost of installation.

Eco-Friendly Choice

Reduce your household’s carbon footprint by switching  to clean solar energy.

How Do Solar Hot Water Systems Work?

Solar hot water systems use energy from the sun to heat water efficiently and affordably. The process works like this:

Solar collectors absorb solar radiation

Thermal energy circulates to heat water

The hot water is stored in an insulated tank

Need more heat on a cloudy day? A backup booster kicks in.

Solar hot water systems use energy from the sun to heat water efficiently and affordably. The process works like this:

Our hot water solar system solutions

Roof-Mounted Solar Hot Water

Combining solar collectors and storage tank on the roof, this system saves ground space and takes advantage of direct sun exposure. Ideal for properties with strong roof structures and good solar orientation.

Split System Solar Hot Water

In this setup, only the solar collectors are roof-mounted while the storage tank is installed on the ground. This reduces the structural load on the roof, making it suitable for homes with limited roof strength.

Heat Pump Water Heaters

Heat pumps use electricity to extract heat from the surrounding air and transfer it to the water—making them incredibly efficient, even in cooler or cloudy conditions. They don’t require roof space or direct sunlight.

FAQs

Discover the answers to your questions about hot water solar systems and their advantages.

What types of solar hot water systems are available in Australia?

Australia primarily has two types of solar hot water systems: flat plate collectors and evacuated tube collectors. Flat plate systems are ideal for moderate climates, while evacuated tube systems are more efficient in cooler temperatures and are better suited for regions with colder winters.

How much can I save on energy bills by using a solar hot water system?

Homeowners in Australia can save between 50% and 90% on their hot water energy bills, depending on the system size, local climate, and energy rates. The sunny climate across many regions in Australia enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of solar hot water systems.

Are there government incentives for installing solar hot water systems in Australia?

The Australian government offers various rebates and incentives for solar hot water systems through the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES). These incentives significantly reduce the upfront costs associated with installation.

What happens if there is not enough sunlight? Can I still have hot water?

Most solar hot water systems in Australia have a backup heating element, such as electric or gas boosters, which can heat the water when solar energy is insufficient. This ensures a consistent hot water supply year-round, even on cloudy days.

Do I need to have a standard water heater if I install a solar hot water system?

While a solar hot water system can often provide enough hot water for most household needs, many systems are designed to work alongside a conventional water heater. It depends on your specific hot water requirements and the capacity of the solar system you choose. For many homeowners, an additional traditional system may not be necessary if the solar system is sized correctly.
