How Solar Hot Water Products Work
Solar hot water systems use energy from the sun to heat your water instead of relying solely on electricity or gas.
Solar collectors capture heat during the day and transfer it to your storage tank.
A booster (gas or electric) automatically assists when sunlight is limited.
This means:
-
Lower energy consumption
-
Reduced power bills
-
Reliable hot water day and night
-
Less environmental impact
In sunny climates like Adelaide, solar systems can significantly reduce household hot water costs.
