Benefits of Solar Hot Water Systems

Central Coast’s climate is perfectly suited for efficient, reliable solar-generated hot water all year round.

So, what are the major benefits of solar hot water on the Central Coast?

  • Cost-Effective Over Time

While The upfront cost of purchasing and installing a solar heater is typically higher than electric or gas equivalents, it’s much more affordable in the long run as you continue to save money on electricity and gas bills.

Generally, water heaters account for up to 24% of a household’s energy use and with additional renewable energy rebates and incentives, there are significant potential savings available.

  • Low Maintenance

Like most household appliances, solar hot water heaters require periodic maintenance to keep them operating at maximum capacity. However, compared to other hot water systems, they are relatively low maintenance.

It’s recommended that you service your system once every five years and keeping a close eye on your system for any issues will help keep service costs down. A well-maintained system can last upwards of 20 years.

  • Efficient & Environmentally Friendly Water Heating

Not only are solar water heaters emission-free, but they are also highly efficient at transforming solar energy into heat. On average, 80% of solar energy received is used for heating your water.

How Does a Central Coast Solar Hot Water System Work?

Unlike traditional hot water systems which use electricity from the grid to heat your home’s water, solar water heaters draw their energy directly from the sun to heat your water.

So how do different solar hot water heaters work?

  • Flat Plate Collectors

Flat plate collector systems are the most common type of solar hot water heaters used for residential households.

Flat plate collectors consist of copper pipes running through an insulated dark absorber plate.

As the plate gains energy from the sun, the heat is transferred to the water inside the copper pipes, which is then used by the household.

  • Evacuated-Tube Solar Collectors

Evacuated-Tube solar collectors are made up of two rows of transparent glass tubes placed in parallel with one another and with copper pipes running through their centre.

The glass tubes are fitted with a layer of solar energy-absorbing material, which passes heat onto the copper pipes thereby increasing the temperature of the water as it passes through.

  • Gas & Electric Boosted Solar Water Heaters

While solar hot water systems are highly reliable, there are especially cloudy days where the heat and energy stored by your system aren’t sufficient on its own. For these situations, gas and electric boosted options are available.

These consist of normal solar water heaters with additional boosters which activate if water does not hit a required temperature. This allows homeowners to enjoy both energy-efficient hot water almost all the time, with a backup on tap when it’s needed.
