Solar Hot Water is a highly efficient, low cost, green technology:

  • Avoids 3,000 kg of CO2 per year (equivalent to a small car).
  • Saves 30% of your household greenhouse gas emissions.
  • Slashes $300 to $700 off your energy bill each year.
  • Reduces the impact of ongoing electricity price increases (+17% in the last two years alone).

Over the life of a system (15 to 20 years according to the Environmental Protection Agency) that means up to $12,000 additional dollars in your pocket and savings of 60,000kg CO2. Let me repeat that:

Solar Hot Water Facts

Yet in in the last 9 years only 450,000 solar hot water systems were installed in Australia. (Estimate based on REC Registry.)

Australia has 2.4 Million owner-occupied freestanding houses (source Census), which means less than 1 in 10 suitable houses has a solar hot water system.

Why?

It is absolutely brilliant. Even though there were a lot of wet and grey days, we did not have to use the booster at all. Everyone had a shower in the evening and there was hot water left the next day. Solar Hot Water is the best thing we ever did.

  • Lack of information
  • High upfront cost
  • “Too much hassle”.

I was using a fairly new electric hot water service, which was quite efficient but it still accounted for a third of my power use. I’m very very happy after the installation of the solar hot water system. Ingenero (formerly SolarPay) were brilliant. They did what they said they’d do and their service is as good as I’d want to get anywhere. I received a quote with everything on it; the bottom line was just that.
