Solar Hot Water Systems & Heaters

More on Solar Hot Water Systems

As one of the sunniest countries in the world – it’s no surprise that Australians are opting to use the sun’s energy to heat and cool their homes through the use of solar hot water heaters and solar collectors. Solar water heating is a simple process through which the energy of the sun is captured to keep the hot water running at a consistently perfect temperature. Solar collectors trap solar energy to provide a continuous flow of hot water heating year-round, even in cold weather and on cloudy days.

Why Choose a Solar Hot Water System?

There are a few key factors that influence a customer’s decision to pick a solar hot water system. Generally, customers decide to go solar to save money on their energy bill, reduce the impact of their energy use on the environment, or plan an efficient hot water system for new construction. A solar hot water system, solar hot water heaters and heat pumps will all pay for themselves through the efficiency and money saved on electricity bills.

If saving money is the main reason you would like to switch to solar hot water, we can help to determine the particulars for your situation to get the most from your budget. This way you can see how long it would take you to recoup the upfront cost. Usually, customers are surprised that their system can last up to 10 years or more.

All solar hot water options will improve your impact on the planet. We can combine both cost-saving and earth-saving efforts by helping you to choose the best solar hot water for your home.

How Does a Solar Hot Water System Work?

There are a few different types of solar hot water systems, including:

Loline solar hot water is a split system with a pump and controller mounted to the tank. This pump pulls cold water from the bottom of the tank into panels on the roof. Once the water has become hot it gets circulated back into the tank where it is stored.

Hi-line solar hot water is a system that is all on the roof. Hi-line solar hot water works through a process called thermosiphoning, which is the process of hot water rising and cold water falling in the panel and the tank. This product has no mechanical components to circulate water, meaning fewer things can go wrong with the hi-line solar system.

If frost is an issue in your area, an antifreeze valve or glycol panel would be needed to keep the system working properly through those cold winter months when you really want to make sure you have hot water.

Evacuated tubes work by heat being trapped in a vacuum of the glass. Then the heat is transferred into the manifold via the heat probe.

Selective surfaces are an ultra-absorbent material for the flat plate panel which is extremely conductive and high efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are solar hot water systems worth it?

High in efficiency, installing a solar water heater is the best way to reduce your carbon footprint, cut the price of your energy bills in half, improve the value of your home, and make a real difference to the impact of your energy use on the earth. Installing a hot water system is the equivalent of taking a small car off the road. Up to 76% of Australians believe the sale value of their home was increased by the thousands due to their new system (according to realestate.com).

Using solar power is well worth it in both hot and cold climates for those looking to lower the cost of heating their water and reduce their fossil fuels. Additionally, with the small size of solar panels, they are perfect for smaller ground-level homes with limited roof space.

How long do solar hot water systems last?

The lifespan of your system will depend on a number of factors such as the brand, installation method, surrounding air and climate in your area. Generally, a solar hot water system, heat pump and hot water tank should last well over 10 years, with many Australian customers reporting their systems last up to 20 years.

How efficient is a solar hot water system?

Solar collectors store more energy per square metre compared to solar panels so they are an incredibly efficient system. A solar hot water heater will store the solar energy for later use and take up little room on your rooftop – making it efficient in every way. Furthermore – you can combine a solar water heater, a solar battery and storage to cut your energy bills even further.
