For Melbourne: Save A Small Fortune On Your Energy Bills And
Pay As Little as $ 1782*
For Your New
Solar Hot Water System

With energy bills spiralling up much faster than inflation, it's time to consider how much you could slash them by installing a new solar hot water system. An average family of four replacing an old electric HWS system in Melbourne could expect to save $400 - $600 a year.

to only have the savings on energy never been higher, but Government Solar Hot Water Rebates are making solar hot water systems less expensive than ever before. Melbourne customers buying a new solar hot water system could be entitled to up to three different rebates. One of our most popular solar hot water systems could cost you as little as $1354! That's way less than an inefficient, garden-variety electric HWS from your local discount hardware store! But what choice do you have?

Two Different Categories

There are two fundamentally different technologies available to deliver you cheap solar hot water. On-the-roof systems, and heat pumps.

1. On-The-Roof Solar Hot Water Systems.

These systems have collectors on the roof to collect the radiant heat of the sun. They include the traditional flat-plate collectors that have been around for 40 years, and the more advanced evacuated tube systems (which have been on the market since 1980!).

Doing our due diligence in 2004, we decided that evacuated tubes were clearly the better system, choosing what has become the Hills Esteem range. We helped pioneer their widespread adoption, and today are the largest Hills Solar Dealer in Australia.. Click to learn more about the Hills Evacuated Tube solar hot water system....

2. Heat Pump Solar Hot Water Systems.

The second solar hot water technology is the heat pump. They have been on the Australian market for over 20 years- a well-kept secret from most Australians!

A heat pump solar hot water system is very clever. Just like a reverse-cycle air conditioner heating a room in winter, they use a little bit of electricity to collect a lot of heat that the sun has put into the atmsphere.

They produce similar savings to most on-the-roof systems, but are cheaper to instal because nothing has to be installed on the roof. The connections are the same as an old-style electric storage hot water system.

Of course, they are recognised by all Australian Governments for solar hot water rebates. A few lucky people who qualify for maximum rebates can end up paying less than they would for a bottom-end electrical hot water system.

Which Solar Hot Water Technology Is Best?

Both systems reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, whether it be gas, or any fossil fuel used to produce electricity. If we look at whole-of-life cost- the cost of buying, running and maintaining the system- we believe that the evacuated tube solar hot water system is a clear winner. If keeping down the initial cost is important, heat pumps are the answer. Any time a roof-mounted system isn't suitable, the heat pump is the answer!

How Much Will I Save With A Solar Hot Water System?

How long is a piece of string? It's hard to say, because every household is different. A different number of people, different shower lengths, hot vs. cold wash, standard vs. low-flow showerheads. All these factors can make a big difference in how much you'll save. It's probably fair to say that the average family of four switching from an old electric to a new solar hot water system will save around $400-600 a year. Of course, whatever saving they make is dramatically rising each year as energy prices head north! Oh, we forgot to mention... you'll also save around 3-4 tonnes of carbon dioxide a year going into the atmosphere!

Rebates:
1. Everybody in Melbourne qualifies for a Federal Government Solar Hot Water Rebate, based on Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). On our most popular systems, this Rebate is worth $750 or more.

2. Melbourne customers qualify for a second Federal Government Solar Hot Water Rebate for replacing an old electric HWS. It's worth up to $1000 (not means tested), and that's on top of the RECs Rebate. Check if you qualify.

3. Melbourne solar hot water system purchasers may be entitled to claim a third (Victorian) financial incentive, based on VEEC's (Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificates), worth $389 or more.

4. Customers may also qualify for the Victorian Government Metro Melbourne Solar Hot Water Rebate ...

As at July 6th., 2010, the value of RECs value is approximately $35. We will continue to offer the best prices we can, as well as the best solar products.
