Why Choose Solar For Your Home?
Solar hot water heaters are increasingly popular in Australian households. Have you noticed lately that almost every street has at least one house with solar panels on the roof? Most likely you’ll need all your fingers to count the solar-powered homes.
This is because solar power is extremely cost efficient and eco-friendly. Although solar hot water heaters are usually the most expensive to install, they save you around 60-80% of your energy bills per annum. Not to mention the substantial reduction of carbon gas emissions. It makes solar hot water installation a truly cost-effective option for your home.
Solar water heaters consist of solar panels and a water storage tank; the solar collectors are installed on your roof and collect energy from the sun’s rays – this energy is transferred to the tank, heating the water inside.
Solar water heaters are available in two different types:
- Split system – These systems are split, meaning that the solar collectors are located on the roof but the tank is located on ground level. Hot water is then pumped from the panels to the tank.
- Thermosiphon/close coupled – This system is installed with both the panels and the storage tank being mounted together on the roof and does not require the use of a mechanical pump to transfer the heated water to the tank. For frost prone areas a heat exchange fluid, such as antifreeze, is used to prevent any damage to the panels from freezing.
When the sun’s energy isn’t in abundant supply, we can install a backup gas or electric solar powered booster. Installing a booster ensured you will get the most out of your system at all times.
If you’re looking for trusted and reliable solar hot water system suppliers who are local and ready to assist you, you can count on Mr Emergency.

When it comes to solar hot water system suppliers, you can count on Mr Emergency to provide you with expert, qualified service and advice.
Most solar hot water units are connected to an electric or gas booster. This means you’ll continue to get hot water on cool, cloudy days when there isn’t much sunshine. You’ll definitely notice the difference in your water heating bills.
Even if you’ve got a four-person household there’ll be plenty of hot water for everyone. You’ll achieve the water temperature you desire, primarily using the energy from the sun.
Using Extra Solar Power
If you have a solar PV system, you have the option of using a solar diverter. PV refers to the photovoltaic cell, commonly called a solar cell, which can convert artificial light into energy.
A solar diverter is a device which takes excess solar power and uses it to heat your hot water tank. This is often preferable to sending excess power back to the grid.
Solar Hot Water Installation, Service and Repair
For new solar hot water system installations or repairs on an existing unit, look no further than Mr Emergency. We are available for all of your plumbing and gas-fitting needs. We guarantee customer satisfaction and a quality job that you can trust – ensuring all required codes and conducts are followed in the strictest sense.
One of the more common reasons our plumbers get called out is a leaking solar hot water system. The most common reasons for this include:
- Worn out parts or materials
- Holes that have formed in the tank or in pipes
- Fittings or valves that have come loose
- Extreme build up of pressure in the system
- Freezing in the system
Most cases of a solar hot water system leaking come from the water tank. When they occur, should be repaired as soon as possible. Other instances of leakage can occur in the circulating pump or in the thermal solar collector, which is the part of the system that “collects” the sun’s heat energy.
These issues typically occur when a solar water heater begins to age. So, if you would like any repairs, on a system upgrade, call Mr Emergency today. We offer reliable same day repairs, 24/7.
During cold weather you know you can rely on an electric booster or gas booster, as most solar hot water heaters have a booster element. Even if you’ve got a conventional gas hot water system, which are generally believed to be economical, you’ll notice the difference in your energy costs.
Whether you’re currently using electric or gas, most people say the running costs of a solar hot water systems are much lower all year round. And you’ll always achieve the temperature you desire when you need to heat water.
