Hot Water

Going Solar Makes Enviromental and
Producing hot water for the home has the largest impact on your energy bill in most Australian homes. Using solar energy to heat your water can substantially reduce energy bills, even in colder climates, and will reduce the emission of Greenhouse Gases. Replacing an electric water heater with a gas boosted solar water heater can reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions by up to 6.6 tonnes per year (or 132 000 black balloons), equivalent to taking a family car off the road.
Why Solar Hot Water?
Every house in Australia should have a solar hot water system. It's that simple. From Perth to Sydney, Darwin to Melbourne, they make environmental and economic sense.
When does the Solar Work?
The solar panels begin the process of gradually heating the water in the mornings as soon as the radiant heat from the sun is absorbed by the collectors on your roof. This continues throughout the day until late afternoon.
On cloudy and rainy days the solar gain is less, but the collectors still absorb heat. On these days the solar system will usually require the assistance of a booster to maintain the water at a suitable temperature.
Economic Sense
A solar hot water system is a great long-term investment that has a guaranteed return. In Brisbane using the sun’s energy to heat water can reduce your household hot water bills by more than 90% each year. That's 90% of your hot water for free! That’s a big saving of up to $600 each year for the average family in Brisbane. This will add up to thousands of dollars saved over the lifetime of the solar hot water system!
Coupled with the longevity of the stainless steel storage tank and all copper collector panels, purchasing a solar hot water system is one of the best economic decisions you can make.
PRICING
There are many variables that affect the pricing of a solar hot water system and they are determined by the customer's requirements based on the nature of the building structure, number of people in the family using hot water, whether the system is close coupled or split, electric or gas boosted. Also rebates and discounts for RECS affect the final price to the customer. DPR Network recommends that customers seek advice on the best solution for them. DPR Network will visit their home or building site, consult with customers' builders if necessary and provide the most competitive price possible.
