New South Wales and Queensland get a lot of sunshine, so it makes sense to use that energy to heat your hot water.


  • Solar hot water systems use free energy from the sun, w significantly reduce your electricity or gas bills, leading to long-term savings.
  • By harnessing the sun's power, you become less reliant on traditional energy sources, providing greater energy security and reducing vulnerability to energy price fluctuations.
  • Solar hot water systems have minimal ongoing maintenance and operating costs compared to conventional water heaters.
  • Installing a solar hot water system can increase the resale value of your property, as it is an attractive feature for eco-conscious buyers.
  • Solar hot water systems are highly efficient, as they directly convert sunlight into heat energy, minimising energy waste.



Solar hot water systems are typically installed on rooftops or designated areas with optimal sun exposure, ensuring a constant and energy-efficient supply of hot water while contributing to a sustainable and secure living environment.

How it Works

Solar hot water systems are an environmentally friendly and cost-effective way to provide hot water for homes in New South Wales and Queensland. These systems harness the abundant sunlight of the region to heat your water, reducing your reliance on conventional energy sources and helping you save on energy bills. Here’s how they work:


1. Solar Collectors: Solar hot water systems consist of solar collectors, typically installed on your roof. These collectors are designed to absorb sunlight and convert it into heat energy. With sunny days being so abundant, this is an ideal setup for efficient water heating.


2. Absorption of Solar Energy: The solar collectors are equipped with special fluid, often a glycol-water mixture, that circulates through them. When exposed to sunlight, this fluid absorbs the solar energy and becomes heated.


3. Heat Transfer: The heated fluid then flows through a heat exchanger located within a storage tank. This heat exchanger transfers the heat from the fluid to the water in the tank. As a result, the water in the tank gradually heats up.


4. Hot Water Storage: The hot water is stored in an insulated tank until you need it. Solar hot water systems come with a range of tank sizes to suit the needs of your household. The insulation helps to maintain the water’s temperature, so it’s readily available when you turn on the tap.


5. Backup Heating Element (Optional): In case of extended cloudy days or high hot water demand, solar hot water systems can be equipped with a backup heating element. This element can be powered by electricity or gas and ensures that you have a consistent supply of hot water even when sunlight is limited.


6. User Control: Solar hot water systems often come with user-friendly controls, allowing you to monitor and adjust the system’s settings, such as water temperature and

backup heating operation, according to your preferences.


7. Energy Savings: By relying on the sun’s energy to heat your water, your solar hot water system can significantly reduce your energy bills and your carbon footprint. From Byron Bay to Tweed Heads and the Gold Coast, these systems are an excellent choice for sustainable and cost-effective hot water heating.
