Solar Hot Water

Solar hot water systems are the most common hot water system in  Perth, harnessing the city’s abundant sunshine to provide eco-friendly and cost-effective heating solutions.

At Invision Plumbing & Gas, we service, repair and supply quality solar hot water systems from all leading brands.

If you are looking to upgrade from gas or or electric to solar then Perth’s sunny climate makes it an ideal location for solar hot water systems, offering homeowners the opportunity to significantly reduce their reliance on traditional energy sources and lower utility bills.

Our local solar hot water installers in Perth specialise in the installation and maintenance of solar hot water systems, ensuring they are strategically positioned for optimal sun exposure and efficiency. Regular maintenance tasks include inspecting the solar panels for debris and ensuring the circulation system operates smoothly.

Roof Mount 300L Single Panel with Gas Booster

  • iHeat 300 litre glass lined tank
  • 1 extra large collector (2.5sqm)
  • Electric boosted
  • Suits 1-3 people in a 3-4 bedroom house
  • Perth designed and local Perth support
  • Ideal replacement for roof solar, installation included based on this*
  • 5 year warranty on tank and panel

Roof mount single panel systems utilise the thermosiphon method, a very simple and non-mechanical way of harnessing the sun’s energy for water heating. The storage tank contains cooler, denser water at the bottom and warmer water at the top. The cold water flows down through the highly-performing copper panels, where it is heated by the sun, before flowing back up into the cylinder. This goes on as long as the sun is up and stops when it sets.

Roof Mount 300L Twin Panel with Inline Gas Booster

  • iHeat 300 litre glass lined tank
  • 2 collectors (4.0sqm)
  • Electric boosted
  • Suits a family sized home

  • Ideal replacement for roof solar, installation included based on this*
  • 5 year warranty on tank and panel

Fully automatic 6-star in-line gas booster provides plenty of hot water all year round. This double panel roof mount with in-line gas booster is the workhorse of solar hot water systems. The cooler water at the bottom of the cylinder is denser than the warmer water at the top. As the cooler water flows through the panels, the sun’s energy heats the water via the highly efficient all-copper collectors, and rises up into the storage tank. This cycle will continue while the sun is shining and will cease once the sun goes down.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Installing a solar hot water system offers several advantages, including significant savings on energy bills, reduced reliance on traditional energy sources, and lower carbon emissions. These systems harness the abundant sunshine in Perth to heat water using solar panels, providing eco-friendly and cost-effective heating solutions for households.

Solar hot water systems capture energy from the sun using solar panels (collectors) typically mounted on the roof. This energy is then transferred to a heat exchanger or directly to water stored in a tank. The heated water can be used for showers, dishwashing, and other household needs, reducing the need for conventional water heating methods.

There are several types of solar hot water systems, including thermosiphon systems where water circulates naturally due to the heating process, and split systems where the collectors are separate from the storage tank. At Invision Plumbing & Gas, we can recommend the best type based on your home’s layout, hot water usage, and other factors.

Solar hot water systems are generally suitable for homes in Perth due to the city’s abundant sunshine. However, factors such as roof orientation, shading, and available space for installation can affect the system’s efficiency. Our experienced installers at Invision Plumbing & Gas can assess your home and recommend the most suitable system configuration for optimal performance.

Regular maintenance for a solar hot water system includes checking and cleaning the solar panels to ensure they are free from dirt or debris that could reduce efficiency. Additionally, our team at Invision Plumbing & Gas will inspect the circulation system, valves, and tank to ensure everything is functioning correctly. Proper maintenance helps maximize the system’s lifespan and efficiency, ensuring continued savings and reliable hot water supply for your home.
