Why switch to solar hot water?
Lower Your Bills. Shrink Your Carbon Footprint.
Switching to solar hot water can eliminate up to 3 tonnes of carbon emissions per year—the equivalent of taking a small car off the road! In Australia, electric water heaters are one of the largest contributors to residential electricity use and greenhouse gas emissions, especially when the electricity comes from non-renewable sources. Choosing solar not only reduces your environmental impact but also offers long-term financial savings.
Reduce Your Energy Costs
Solar hot water systems let you harness the sun’s free energy to heat water for your home, reducing your reliance on electricity or gas suppliers. Industry leaders like Rheem and Solahart have been helping households access affordable, sustainable hot water for over 60 years. Many systems now also integrate with solar PV panels and battery storage for even greater efficiency and savings.
Replacing a conventional gas or electric system with solar could cut your water heating energy use by 50% to 90%.
Working with Rooftop Solar Panels
By pairing a Solahart PV system with a storage battery, you can store surplus solar energy for use at night or during overcast days. Excess energy? Feed it back into the grid and get rewarded.

Boost Your Property Value
Solar systems are a smart investment. Real estate experts agree that homes with renewable energy solutions often attract higher prices thanks to lower ongoing running costs—making them more appealing to environmentally conscious buyers.
What About Cloudy Weather?
One of the most common questions we hear is: “Does solar hot water still work when it’s cloudy?” The answer is yes! Even on overcast days, solar panels continue to absorb ultraviolet rays, which are enough to heat your water. And when there’s not enough sunlight to meet demand, built-in boosters—typically gas or electric—automatically take over to ensure a consistent hot water supply.
Today’s solar technology is more advanced, affordable, and reliable than ever before, with systems designed to perform in a variety of weather conditions.
