Why Choose Solar Hot Water?
Solar hot water may be a smart choice for your home as it reduces your water heating bill, sometimes by up to 90%! There are many different systems available that are ideal for different situations. Benefits for implementing solar hot water for your home or premises include:
- Reduce your carbon footprint by using free energy from the sun
- Save up to 90% on your water heating bills and shield yourself from future rising energy costs.
- Increase the value and environmental rating of your property.
A main choice to consider is whether to choose a roof or wall mounted unit (these allow for different capacities) and whether to have gas or electric boosted hot water. Some available options are dependent on the construction and design of your house.
We’re here to help you understand these options and to choose the best hot water system for your home. Simply give us a call and we’ll be onsite in no time to help you choose and install your ideal solar hot water system.
How to choose a solar hot water system
Solar hot water systems contain solar collector panels (most commonly installed on the roof) that heat up the water by facing the sun and absorbing its heat. Most systems have two of these panels, taking up around 4 square metres of roof space.
These solar collector panels are accompanied by a storage tank. These can generally be placed directly above the solar collector panels or on the side of the house, against the outside wall.
Simple systems use gravity and mains pressure to let water in the bottom of the solar collector panels, and as the water heats (getting lighter), it rises to the storage tank above. Split systems pump water through the panels and into the tank stored elsewhere. When there’s not enough sun to heat up the water, the booster kicks in to ensure consistent temperatures.
Ultimately, the kind of solar hot water unit best suited to you depends on your demand for hot water. Smaller systems are adequate for smaller homes and families, whilst larger systems are needed for larger properties with more hot water usage. Gas boosted systems are obviously best suited to locations connected to natural gas pipelines.
Servicing and replacing solar hot water systems
Being exposed to the sun day after day, solar hot water systems can age and form leaks. Other common issues that may arise towards end of service life are:
- Leaking storage cylinder or valves
- Failed thermostat
- Faulty heating element
We’ll honestly assess your situation and provide the best recommendation going forward – whether a simple repair will see the solar hot water system continue for a long time yet, or whether it may be best to replace the old system with new.
