Although Australians are blessed with an almost year-round source of free solar energy, over 75% of households still use electric hot water systems.  With economic and environmental crises in the loom and hands firmly in pockets, it’s a wonder that more people aren’t taking advantage of earth’s most valuable resource. Household hot water systems can account for up to 40% of the average family power bill.

The Australian Greenhouse Office claims that the average household can shave between $300 and $700 off their electricity bill each year simply by switching from electric to solar hot water systems. It’s true that solar hot water systems usually cost more to install, but substantial government incentives and rebates are still available and continue to make solar an affordable option for consumers.

Regardless of income, many households are eligible for either a government rebate or another financial incentive. Check the Australian Government website at www.environment.gov.au to check your eligibility.

Solar hot water systems can also significantly reduce your household greenhouse gas emissions by around 25%, which is close to 3,000 kg of CO2, the same as taking a small car off the road every year.

The Environmental Protection Agency says that you can expect that a solar hot water system to last 15 to 20 years, which is up to double the life of an electric system.

All solar hot water systems are tested by the Australian Government for their efficiency.

They are rated and awarded, measured by renewable energy certificates.

SolaSys on the Sunshine Coast is breath of fresh air for homeowners who want to save money as well as reduce their carbon footprint. Solar power is a renewable energy alternative to coal and creates power by harnessing energy from the sun. SolaSys offers two different kinds of solar products which are solar water heating and  solar power.

On top of keeping business in Australia, it likes to keep it local as well. “We like to look after our own and only use local tradesmen and suppliers where possible,” Scott said.

Clearly, it makes sense to use the Sun’s clean, free heat to provide your hot water.

Even at cheaper off-peak rates your electric system is burning money and filling the air with pollutants to heat water that the sun could heat for free.
