Top Five Reasons Why Solar Hot Water Makes Sense
There are so many reasons to choose Solahart Hot Water Systems. Here are our Top 5 reasons:
The biggest household energy saving
Hot water is one the greatest energy drains in your house. A solar water heater could help you save up to 65%^ of your water heating energy consumption.
The most efficient solar energy system
A Solahart Solar Hot Water system is proven to be more energy efficient than solar power. It uses the heat from the sun to provide cost-effective and reliable hot water.
The original, affordable solar battery
A solar hot water system works just like a battery, storing energy in the form of hot water, ready for use at a later time. It is the original solar energy storage device, and Solahart has been perfecting it for over 65 years.
Less roof space, more savings
To save the equivalent in energy use, a solar water heater takes up a third of the roof space of a standard solar power system^^.
Flexibility: Simplicity or Style
Solahart lets you choose between efficient roof-mounted tanks or slimline split-systems, to minimise visual impact.
Frequently asked questions about hot water systems
What is the difference between a solar hot water collector and a solar PV panel?
A solar hot water collector is specifically designed to absorb sunlight and heat water directly. Heat transport takes place through specially designed panels or tubes that feed into a storage tank. Imagine capturing the sun’s energy and using it to run your electric water heater, among other appliances, all thanks to a solar PV panel’s photo-electric powers. While both utilise solar energy, their applications and benefits are different.
Going solar with hot water just makes sense - here's why.
Choosing solar hot water is a smart move for several reasons. First, it significantly reduces your energy bills by utilising free energy from the sun. By picking this option, it reduces your household’s carbon output and helps keep the air cleaner. Third, solar hot water systems are reliable and can last many years with minimal maintenance. Your wallet and the planet both get a boost – that’s what we call a double win.
What are the environmental benefits of a Solahart solar water heater?
Solahart solar water heaters help reduce greenhouse gas emissions using renewable energy instead of fossil fuels. Drop fossil fuels from your hot water routine and instantly shrink your household’s carbon footprint. As a direct result, the air gets cleaner, and our surroundings become healthier. Imagine a world where solar panels stand tall, replacing smoke-belching power plants, and where the air is crisp and clean – that’s the promise of renewable energy.
Which Solahart is right for us?
Choosing the right Solahart system depends on your specific needs. A compact heat pump or a small solar hot water system might be ideal for smaller households. Larger families or commercial properties might benefit from a more extensive system with higher capacity. When it’s time to size up your energy needs, our Solahart Ballarat experts are on the case, ready to analyse your situation and recommend the perfect system for your unique requirements.
Does a Solahart system take long to install?
No, a Solahart installation is typically quick and straightforward. Most systems can be installed in just a day, minimising disruption to your daily routine.
How much will a Solahart water heater save me?
The savings from a Solahart water heater can be substantial. Hooked up to solar power, your water heater becomes a money-saver, slicing up to 80% off your water heating bills. Two big factors affect how much you’ll cut back on energy bills: your household’s appetite for hot water and the going rate for energy in your neighbourhood – but either way, you’ll notice a difference.
How long does it take to pay for itself?
A Solahart water heater generally pays for itself within three to five years. The savings on your energy bills and government rebates available for solar hot water systems offset the initial investment. This investment pays for itself quickly, and the savings just keep rolling in year after year.
What are Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs)?
Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) are part of the Australian Government’s Renewable Energy Target. Going green just got a whole lot easier – and more cost-effective – with financial incentives for solar hot water and solar PV systems. Every certificate boils down to one essential question: how much energy will this system save over its entire lifespan? The more energy-efficient your system, the more STCs you earn. These can be traded for a discount on your installation costs.
What financing options do you have for hot water systems?
So you want to harness the power of solar hot water, but the initial investment is holding you back. Relax – our interest-free financing solutions are tailored to help you overcome that hurdle and enjoy clean energy’s benefits. Need financing that won’t break the bank? Our interest-free loans is designed to make your life easier, not more complicated.
Is there an alternative to putting the tank on the roof?
Yes, there are alternative installation options. If you prefer not to have a tank on your roof, you can choose a split system where the storage tank is installed on the ground or in another convenient location, and the solar collectors remain on the roof.
Why do solar water heaters have booster switches?
Booster switches are included in solar water heaters to provide hot water during periods of low solar gain, such as during cloudy days or high-demand times. Using solar energy doesn’t mean you have to give up the comfort of a hot shower. These systems smoothly pick up the slack when the sun dips below the horizon.
Does Solahart service hot water systems?
Solahart has got you covered with servicing for every type of hot water system out there. As our experienced technicians take the reins, your system becomes a finely tuned machine, humming with precision and accuracy.
What brands of hot water systems do you service?
We’re proud to work with a wide range of hot water system brands, from our very own Solahart products to all the other big names. Contact us to find out if we can service your specific system.
What is the difference between a solar hot water system and a solar power system?
A solar hot water system uses solar collectors to heat water directly, reducing the need for electricity or gas. In contrast, a solar power system (solar PV) converts sunlight into electricity, which can be used to power your home, including electric water heaters. One thing’s for sure: both systems rely on solar power. However, they serve distinct purposes and come with their own set of perks.
Solar power (PV) converts light from the sun into electricity. The amount generated depends on the number of panels and size of the inverter. Any excess power can be sold back into the grid or stored in a battery, while additional electricity can be bought from the grid when the sun is not shining
