Solar Hot Water Systems in AustraliaSolar Hot Water Systems have been pioneered in Australia. Over decades we have produced many of the best domestic solar hot water systems available in the world.
The list of quality brands available in Australia is an impressive one, and includes
The majority are the traditional flat plate systems, with collector panels on your roof that collect the radiant heat of the sun during the day to heat the water. They are more economical than electric or gas water heaters, and have electric or gas boosters for when there is insufficient sun. The fastest growing section of this market is the exciting Evacuated Tube technology, which maintains a higher efficiency for a greater period of the day, and puts little weight on the roof. The technology has been around for over 25 years, but is now making its mark on the Australian market. We are proud to offer the brilliant range of Hills Endless Solar evacuated tube solar hot water systems to our customers.
These units act like a reverse-cycle air conditioner does in winter, extracting warmth from the air, and pumping it into your home. It's not a new idea- your refrigerator does the same thing, but in reverse, and the result is hot water from thin air! Again, this is a product proven on the Australian market for 20 years- but a well-kept secret. Both systems reduce our reliance on fossil fuels, whether it be gas, or any fossil fuel used to produce electricity. Any flat plate solar hot water system should save in excess of 3.5 tonnes of greenhouse emissions a year, not to mention a healthy saving on your energy bill (calculated at close to $400 in the ACT). With their extra efficiency, and NO need for boosting, the heat pump water heaters save even more greenhouse gas emissions (over 4 tonnes), and even more money on your energy bill. Whether you choose to get your free hot water from the sun (roof mounted units) or from thin air (heat pump units), you'll save yourself a packet each and every year on your energy bills, and make an important contribution to the environment by drastically reducing your greenhouse gas emissions. Below is a graph showing a comparison of the energy consumption to make hot water for a typical family of four over a one year period, using different technologies.
When we work with our customers to size their evacuated tube system, we're aiming for a minimal number of days of the year when the booster ever comes on. Great technology, paired with intelligent application, can dramatically cut your hot water costs. Yes, there is an extra cost. Standard gas and electric hot water systems cost less when you buy them. But you pay more every time you get an energy bill, and the total over the life of the hot water heater can be frightening. If you were paying $400 extra per year, that would be $6000 over a 15-year period. Surely it's worth spending another $1000 or so, to save $6000? "But", you say, "solar hot water systems cost much more than $1000 more than a gas or electric systems." Yes, you're right, if you only look at the list price. Fortunately, the Australian Government knows the value to the environment of these water heaters, and it provides a financial incentive to you to buy one. The incentives (called REC's, or Renewable Energy Certificates) vary from model to model, and from region to region, but don't be surprised if you can get back over $600 much of the time. In some states, you can also get an additional rebate. Crunch the numbers for yourself, and you'll find that you just can't afford to buy a cheap, inefficient water heater. Your heart, your head, and your wallet can all agree that it's a great investment to buy a solar or heat pump water heater!
