Australia has the highest uptake of solar globally, with more than 21% of homes with rooftop solar PV. As of 30 September 2020 more than 2.56 million rooftop solar power systems have been installed across Australia.
Solar is a great way to reduce your energy bills and your reliance on energy companies by harnessing the sun’s free energy.
At Solahart, we have been delivering hot water free from the sun to households around the world for over 70 years. Since then, our range has expanded to include solar power and energy storage technology.
It makes good sense to start your journey into renewable technology by firstly reducing the amount of energy you use. Conventional water heaters typically make up around 25%1 of a household’s grid-energy consumption in Australia; so a great way to minimise the energy you consume from the grid or gas network is to replace your gas or electric water heater with a Solahart, and use the sun to produce the hot water your home requires.
For ultimate savings, combine a solar water heater with a solar power system to provide power to your home, and supplement this with a battery system to store free energy you can use at night, or when the sun is not shining. Any surplus power can then be fed back into the grid.
