 Guide to Buying Solar Hot Water System in Victoria

Solar hot water systems, which generate thermal energy using the sun's heat, differ from photovoltaic (PV) panels, which produce electricity from sunlight. Both play crucial roles in our journey towards sustainability.

TYPES AND CONFIGURATION

Today, solar hot water systems come in various configurations, making it essential to choose the right setup. Generally, a solar hot water system includes a storage tank for holding hot water and a mechanism for harvesting solar energy. These systems require a supplementary heating method, known as 'boosting' (using electricity, natural gas, LP gas, wood heat, or a combination) for times when hot water demand exceeds solar energy availability or when solar energy is insufficient. The goal of a well-designed and installed system is to maximise solar energy use and reduce the need for boosting.

OUR COMMITMENT

Our role as a business is to represent the consumer by offering the best solutions tailored to their needs. We ensure that the products we provide and install are fit for purpose, delivering sufficient hot water and having a reasonable lifespan.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT SYSTEM

Selecting the most suitable system depends on several factors:

• The amount of hot water required

• Available roof space

• Quality of the cold water supply

• Proposed system location (e.g., exposure to shading or heavy frost)

TYPES OF SYSTEMS

In Australia, commonly available solar hot water systems fall into two categories:

1. Solar Thermal Collector Systems

2. Heat Pump Systems

Additionally, an emerging third category uses PV panels to generate electricity, which is then used to produce hot water.

By understanding these options and their benefits, you can make an informed decision that aligns with your sustainability goals and energy needs.

 Are you looking for a Solar Hot Water System and/or A Heat Pump Unit for a New Construction or a Renovation Site?

All architects/builders are requested to email us the roof and elevation drawings along with the system details. This helps in understanding where, how and what system will be appropriate. However, if you are looking for a Heat Pump System, please send us the ground floor plans (positioned marked for the HP Unit will be helpful).
