Benefits of Solar Hot Water

The benefits of solar hot water have been known for years – energy from the sun is free, and you can obtain as much as 80% of your hot water requirements from the sun. And while you’re reducing your power bill, you are also helping the environment.

The table above demonstrates the savings that can be generated through the installation of Solar Hot Water ^†

Solar Hot Water

Water heating is the largest single source of greenhouse gas emissions from most Australian homes. On average, each electric hot water system produces around four tonnes of greenhouse gases every year. That's equivalent to running an average sized car for a year.

Replacing an electric hot water system with a greenhouse efficient system is one of the most effective ways to reduce your household’s carbon footprint. Low emission technologies, such as solar, heat pump and efficient gas systems, are 2.5 to 3 times more efficient than conventional electric storage water heaters.
