Why Adelaide Homes Are Perfect for Solar Hot Water
Adelaide is one of the best cities in Australia for solar. We specialise in solar hot water replacements across Adelaide.

How Solar Hot Water Works
Solar collectors absorb heat from the sun and transfer it to your water storage tank.
A booster (gas or electric) automatically assists on cloudy days or during heavy usage, so you always have reliable hot water.
Benefits include:
✔ Free energy from the sun
✔ Lower running costs
✔ Reduced energy bills
✔ Reliable year-round supply
✔ ✔ Long system lifespan
Solar vs Other Hot Water Systems
Solar + Booster
Lowest long-term running costs and best for energy savings.
Electric Storage
Low upfront cost but higher ongoing electricity bills.
Gas Continuous Flow
Reliable and efficient, but still uses gas daily.
Heat Pump
Energy efficient alternative when solar isn’t suitable.
We’ll help you compare options and choose the best fit.
