Solar hot water systems have been around for a while, but they’re not as well-known as their solar power counterparts. However, there are several compelling reasons why solar hot water can be better than solar power.
Solar hot water systems are more efficient than solar power systems because they use less energy to heat water. Solar power systems need to generate a lot of electricity to create the same amount of heat that a solar hot water system can produce with just a small amount of electricity.
According to a study by the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA), solar hot water systems can be up to 90% more efficient than electric hot water systems. This means that you’ll use less energy to heat your water, which can result in significant cost savings over time.
Solar power systems are known for their high upfront costs. While they can help reduce your electricity bills, the cost of installation and maintenance can be quite high.
On the other hand, solar hot water systems are often more affordable to install and maintain. In fact, some states in Australia offer rebates and incentives for homeowners who install solar hot water systems, which can further reduce the upfront cost.
The cost savings don’t stop there, either. Since solar hot water systems use less energy than traditional electric hot water systems, your energy bills will be much lower in the long run.
One of the biggest concerns with solar power systems is their reliability. Since solar power relies on the sun, there may be times when you don’t have enough electricity to power your home. This is especially true in areas with cloudy or rainy weather.
Solar hot water systems, on the other hand, are designed to work in tandem with traditional hot water systems. This means that even if the sun isn’t shining, you’ll still have hot water in your home.
In addition, solar hot water systems require less maintenance and have fewer components that can break down over time. This makes them more reliable than solar power systems in the long run.
If you’re looking to reduce your carbon footprint and do your part for the environment, solar hot water is the way to go. Solar hot water systems generate heat using renewable energy from the sun, rather than relying on fossil fuels like coal and natural gas.
By switching from an electric hot water system to a solar hot water system, you can reduce your household’s carbon emissions by up to 3.5 tonnes per year, according to the Clean Energy Regulator. This is a significant reduction that can make a real difference in the fight against climate change.
There are many different types of solar hot water systems to choose from, so it’s important to find the one that’s right for your home. Solahart Darling Downs offers a wide range of solar hot water systems to suit every budget and household.
Some of the options available include:
• Split systems: These systems have a collector panel on the roof and a storage tank on the ground. They’re ideal for homes with limited roof space or for those who want to keep the tank out of sight.
• Close-coupled systems: These systems have the collector panel and storage tank on the roof, making them a good option for homes with plenty of roof space.
• Heat pump systems: These systems use electricity to transfer heat from the air or ground to heat your water. They’re ideal for homes in areas with low sunlight or for those who want a more
