Hills Solar hot water system with evacuated tubes.New! The Esteem Evacuated Tube Solar Hot Water Systems from Hills Solar

Evacuated Tube Solar Hot Water Systems use the latest high-efficiency technology, which is now used overseas in millions of systems per year. Enviro-Friendly Products is proud to be a supplier of this new technology, in association with Hills Industries, suppliers of the Hills Solar range.

We are all familiar with the flat-plate solar hot water systems seen on roofs all over Australia, collecting the radiant heat from the sun to heat water. The collection plates are flat, which produces one limitation to efficiency- they can only operate at maximum efficiency when the sun is directly overhead at midday. At other times, the sun's rays are striking the collector at varying angles, reducing efficiency.

 

Hills Solar Esteem Evacuated Tube Solar Hot Water Systems overcome this problem. Because the collector consists of a series of tubes, the sun's rays are perpendicular to the tubes for most of the day, allowing the system to operate at high efficiency for much longer than flat-plate units. The diagram on the left illustrates this.

Another advantage of the evacuated tube technology, is that the weight problems caused by standard flat plate systems are eliminated.

Most flat plate systems weigh over 200kg. With an integrated 300l. water tank, this can place a 500-plus kilogram load on a roof- often requiring expensive modification. A standard Hills Solar Esteem system weighs just over 80 kg on your roof, making it easy to position and instal.

Whether you are planning a new installation, or a retro-fit, Hills Solar Esteem Evacuated Tube Solar Hot Water Systems from Enviro-Friendly Products are a versatile, highly-efficient, low-maintenance solution to your solar hot water needs. You can personalise your system, and choose from;

- three storage tank sizes- 160, 250 and 315 litres
- 10, 22, 30 and 40-tube collectors
- electric or gas boosting
- retrofit systems that work with your existing tank

Our range of Hills Solar Esteem solar hot water systems have been approved by Australian Standards (AS/NZS 2712 & AS/NZS 4234) and carry the Australian Standards and Watermark seals of approval. (Australian Standards License No. SMKP20319)

Just How Efficient Is Evacuated tube technology?
Evacuated tubes are far better at exchanging heat into water than flat plate technology. As the temperature of the water increases, the ability for any system to exchange that heat decreases. Evacuated tubes suffer much less from this issue. For more detailed information on this graph please download the full Solar Efficiencies document.

# Federal Government Rebate for replacing an electric hot water system
+ Renewable Energy Certificates vary in number in different areas. This is for Zone 3. As at October 12th., 2009, their value is approximately $25.

# Please note that retro-fit systems do not attract ANY government rebates. Please discuss your options with us- it WILL be cheaper to buy a whole new system!

An optional mounting frame may be advisable to mount the collectors at the optimum angle, depending on the angle of your roof. These range from $310 to $355 depending on the size of the system and pitch of the frame- please check for details.

A pump upgrade is available if necessary for an extra $175.
