One clear benefit of a quality solar hot water heating system is that it can maximise the savings you make on your electricity and/or gas bills.
A solar water heating system can provide a household with 50 to 75 percent of its annual hot water needs – and slash your power bill. By installing a Sola60 system, you are able to harness a fully renewable resource to heat your water and therefore reduce the amount of other forms of energy your home consumes.
A correctly well installed, high quality
system can pay for itself over time through reduced monthly power bills. Increased energy efficiency may also contribute to the capital value of your home and its attractiveness to potential buyers – further offsetting the initial investment in a solar system.
In summer it may be possible to heat all the water you will need using solar energy; while in winter, or on cold or cloudy days, the system may still meet a significant portion of your hot water needs with supplementary heating being sourced from a booster system.
