In a warm and sunny location a solar hot water heater is an extremely attractive and cost effective solution to the old power hungry hot water systems.
In consideration of going solar for your hot water requirements the biggest concern is often the initial financial expense and the length of time it would take to offset that cost. Solar energy is FREE and the ongoing costs are therefore minimal as opposed to conventional power generated options.
A quality solar hot water system should last around 20 years and more if regularly serviced.
If you are using typical electric storage water heating - around 30% of your electricity bill is used to heat your water! Solar hot water will save you most of that electricity – and typically shave hundreds of dollars a year off your electricity bill.
There is of course the environmental aspect to consider. Solar hot water systems are an environmentally friendly method for generating hot water, by reducing the amount of greenhouse gases your home produces (through reduced electricity and natural gas usage.)
There are 2 main types of solar hot water system to choose from:
The two types both use solar collectors or panels that are placed on your roof.
The panels absorb sun light and transfer the heat directly to your cold water which is pumped through the collectors.
An on-roof hot water system means the storage tank is also on your roof. It works on thermosiphon (heat exchange) and gravity feed.
It is more efficient than a split system as it doesn't require a pump.
Also as it is on the roof - the tank itself absorbs more natural sun light and heats the water more effectively.
Solar hot water systems should be serviced every five years to provide maximum functionally and detect any issues before they turn into major problems.
Our solar technicians will check and replace various valves, clean out the tank, pressure test to detect for small holes or leaks, replace any corroded elements and clean panels.
This will ensure the solar hot water system will function at its optimal efficiency once again. Our qualified tradesmen are fully equipped and ensure that any issues with your solar hot water systems are swiftly and professionally resolved.
When the sun isn't shining, you can't heat the water with solar energy. You need to have a backup energy source, usually gas or electricity. You store the hot water collected by the solar panels in a well insulated hot water tank for future use. (Normally the backup system will not be used that often.)
Solar hot water systems use energy from the sun to heat water through solar collector panels, usually mounted on the roof. The heated water is then stored in an insulated tank for use throughout the day.
Yes. Sydney's sunny climate makes it ideal for solar hot water systems, as there is plenty of solar radiation available year-round to efficiently heat water.
There are two main types used in Sydney homes: roof-mounted (close-coupled) systems, where the tank and panels are installed together on the roof, and split systems, where the panels are on the roof and the tank is located on the ground.
Yes. Most systems include a gas or electric booster that activates automatically when sunlight isn't sufficient, ensuring you always have hot water, even on cloudy days.
Solar hot water systems can reduce your water heating costs by up to 60-80%, depending on your household size, water usage and system efficiency.
Yes. Sydney homeowners may be eligible for government rebates or Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) that help offset the installation cost of solar hot water systems.
When properly maintained, solar hot water systems in Sydney can last 15-20 years or more. Regular servicing ensures the panels, pump and booster perform efficiently.
It's recommended to service your solar hot water system every 2-3 years. A plumber can check the booster, tank, valves and collector panels to keep the system running at peak performance.
Most Sydney homes are suitable for solar installations. However, roof angle, shading and orientation can affect performance. A professional installer can assess your property's suitability.
Yes. Many Sydney homeowners upgrade from gas or electric systems to solar to save on energy bills and reduce their environmental impact. Installation may involve roof and plumbing modifications.
The right size depends on the number of people in your home and your daily hot water usage. A plumber can recommend a suitable system capacity based on your household needs.
