How Solar Hot Water Systems Work

Solar hot water systems use roof-mounted flat panels or evacuated tubes to absorb energy from the sun and heat water directly. In a thermosyphon system, the heated water in the panels or tubes thermosyphons to the tank above the panels.No pump is required. In a split system, water is heated in a manifold of tubes on the roof, and a small, low-energy circulating pump moves the heated water to theground-mounted storage tank. Both approaches are proven, and the right one for your property depends on your roof structure and hot water demand, which we talk through at the quote stage.

Frequently Asked Questions, Heat Pump Hot Water Bega Valley

What is the difference between flat panel and evacuated tube solar hot water systems?

Flat panel systems use a simple, durable panel design, while evacuated tube systems use individual glass tubes that can capture more sun from different angles. We can help you choose the right option for your property and budget.

How much can I save with STC and NSW ESS rebates?

Both the federal STC scheme and the NSW Energy Savings Scheme can apply to an eligible solar hot water installation that replaces an existing electric or gas system. The exact saving depends on your system and location, and is included in your quote.

Does solar hot water still work on cloudy days or at night?

Yes. The water that is heated during the day is stored during the night and can be used. Solar hot water systems do not heat during the night but can heat on cloudy days in the warmer seasons and include a storage tank that holds heated water for use when the sun is not shining, and most systems have a gas or electric booster for extended cloudy periods.

How long does a solar hot water installation take?

Most residential solar hot water installations are completed in a single day, depending on roof access and whether any existing system needs to be removed first.

Which brands of solar hot water systems do you install and repair?

We install and repair Thermann, Dux, Rheem, Apricus,  Solar and other major brands, and carry spare parts for fast repairs.

Do you repair existing solar hot water systems, not just install new ones?

Yes. We offer fast, same-day repairs to existing solar hot water systems across the Bega Valley and Sapphire Coast, in addition to new installations and upgrades.

Is my current gas or electric system a good candidate for a solar upgrade?

Yes definitely
