What is the advantage of using solar hot water systems?

This is an excellent and economic solution. By using the sun’s heat for generating our hot water, we reduce the amount of fossil fuels needing burning (and the associated greenhouse gas emissions generated) to supply electricity to do the same thing.

How does a solar hot water split system work?

  1. A fan draws in air, containing heat energy, across the evaporator
  2. The evaporator turns the liquid refrigerant into a gas
  3. The compressor pressurises the refrigerant into a hot gas
  4. The hot gas inside the condenser coil heats the water inside the coil-wrapped tank
  5. The refrigerant reverts back to a liquid after heating the water and continues to the evaporator for the process to start again

How does a heat pump work?

  2. The evaporator turns the liquid refrigerant into a gas
  3. The compressor pressurises the refrigerant into a hot gas
  4. The hot gas inside the condenser coil heats the water inside the coil-wrapped tank
  5. The refrigerant reverts back to a liquid after heating the water and continues to the evaporator for the process to start again

Who can install the system?

Licensed plumbers and electricians
