FAQs

What are the advantages of solar hot water?

In Australia, given our climate, solar hot water and heating systems are an excellent solution for domestic and small business hot water needs. Modern units are reliable, more affordable, and boast longer lifespans, thanks to advanced industrial technology. Additionally, they are environmentally friendly and significantly reduce electric or gas energy bills

What is the lifespan of a solar hot water system?

On average, a solar hot water system has a lifespan of 20 years. High-quality modern systems, with minimal moving parts, require little maintenance, contributing to their longevity

Does solar hot water require much maintenance?

Solar energy systems generally demand minimal maintenance. While periodic cleaning of collection panels is necessary to clear debris, well-placed panels require infrequent attention. Occasional inspections and minor maintenance are advised, but this is considerably lower compared to systems with more moving parts, such as gas systems

What are the disadvantages of solar hot water?

The drawbacks of solar hot water heaters include the fact that solar thermal panels only heat water compared to photovoltaic panels, which generate electricity. These systems also require roof space, though alternative areas may be utilised in some cases. They operate primarily with direct sunlight, which is not typically an issue in Australia and NSW throughout most of the year. However, adverse weather conditions like rain or clouds can limit their ability to generate hot water, although battery storage options can mitigate this restriction
