THE BENEFITS OF SOLAR HOT WATER
Producing hot water for the home has the largest impact on your energy bill in most Australian homes. Using solar energy to heat your hot water can substantially reduce energy bills, even in colder climates, and will reduce the emission of Greenhouse Gases.
WHEN DOES THE SOLAR WORK?
With most systems, the solar panels begin the process of gradually heating the water in the mornings as soon as the radiant heat from the sun is absorbed by the collectors on your roof. This continues throughout the day until late afternoon.
WHAT HAPPENS ON COLD, CLOUDY OR RAINY DAYS?
On cloudy and rainy days the solar gain is less, but the collectors still absorb heat. On these days the solar system will usually require the assistance of a booster to maintain the water at a suitable temperature.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Booster selection and even the type of hot water system has an impact on the environment. The table below shows the approximate tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions for various systems.
By changing from Electric to Solar-Electric you can change your impact by over half!
A solar hot water system does not differ from your electric hot water system; except that instead of using all its power from the Grid, it also uses the sun's energy.
The change to solar hot water will not only reduce you & your family’s impact on the environment; it will also save you dollars on your power bill - and that's enough reason for anybody to...
