Why It’s Worth the Switch

Solar hot water systems are one of the simplest ways to improve energy efficiency without changing daily habits. These systems use roof-mounted panels to capture heat from the sun and store it in an insulated tank, ready for use whenever needed. Because they draw less power from the grid, they help households and commercial properties reduce electricity costs.


Many systems also include a booster (electric or gas) to ensure hot water is available even in cloudy conditions. Compared to traditional systems, solar hot water is low maintenance and can last for 15 years or more. Rebates may be available to assist with upfront costs, and the long-term savings often outweigh the initial investment. Once installed, the system works quietly in the background, providing hot water with fewer emissions and a smaller carbon footprint.

Solar Hot Water FAQs

  • Can I add solar hot water to an existing home?

    Absolutely. Solar hot water can be retrofitted to most homes. An assessment of your roof orientation, pitch and available space will determine which system is best suited. Existing plumbing can usually be adapted, and options like split systems can make installation easier when roof space is limited. Installers can also help you choose the right tank size and booster type to match your household usage.

  • Is solar hot water effective in winter or cloudy weather?

    Yes, most solar hot water systems include a backup booster powered by electricity or gas. This kicks in automatically when sunlight is limited, ensuring a consistent supply of hot water. While efficiency may drop slightly during prolonged cloudy periods, well-designed systems can still meet most of your household’s hot water needs year-round. The right setup and orientation of solar collectors can also help maximise winter performance.
