Solar Hot Water Systems
There are many types of Solar hot Water Systems that you are likely to find in Canberra. They are Tank on roof flat panel, flat panel, Split System evacuated tube, Gas boosted, Electric boosted and heat pump.
The type of system you choose will depend on your concern for the environment, your budget, your location, the number of occupants in your house, the available space, and the available energy to boost when the sun is not shining.
If space is an issue at ground level, you may need to consider a Tank-on-a-roof flat-panel system, which is either electric- or gas-boosted. However, these are not very efficient. If roof space is an issue and you have available space on a western or northern external wall, you may have to consider a heat pump. These can be slightly more efficient than a Tank-on-Roof Flat Panel system.
If you are concerned about the environment, have extra money, and have available space, a post-gas-boosted system is the best choice.
These are typically more expensive to purchase. Despite popular belief, they are unlikely to save you any money over the life of the system compared to electric-boosted or high-efficiency gas.
Given Canberra’s cold climate, the cost of energy, life expectancy and maintenance costs I would recommend an electric-boosted Evacuated tube System over any other type.
All solar hot water systems are expensive to repair; they must be installed by a Licensed plumber who must also be an experienced installer of solar hot water systems. The most common brands installed in Canberra are Apricus, Dux, Rheem, Solarhart, Edwards, Thermann and Quantum.
