Solar Water Heater

Solar-powered water heating

About Solar Water Heater

Eco-friendly water heating solutions. Heat your water using the power of the sun and save on energy costs. Solar water heaters use thermal collectors on your roof to absorb solar energy and transfer it to water stored in an insulated tank. They deliver hot water throughout the day and retain heat into the evening — dramatically cutting electricity or LPG usage for water heating.

Key Benefits

  • 60–80% energy savings
  • Hot water 24/7
  • Long lifespan (15–20 years)
  • Low maintenance
  • Government subsidies available
  • Environmental impact

How It Works

1

Assessment

Evaluate your daily hot water consumption, household size, and available roof space to recommend the correct system capacity.

2

Design

Choose the appropriate system capacity — flat plate or evacuated tube collectors — along with the insulated storage tank size that meets your needs.

3

Installation

Install the solar collectors on your roof and connect them to the insulated storage tank and your existing plumbing, including electric backup element wiring.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens in winter or on cloudy days?
A built-in electric backup heating element automatically activates when the solar-heated water temperature falls below a set threshold, ensuring you always have hot water regardless of weather conditions.
How much space does it need?
A standard 200-litre solar water heater needs approximately 2 square metres of unshaded south-facing roof space. Larger capacity systems need proportionally more space — our team will confirm requirements during the site visit.
What is the payback period?
Most solar water heaters pay back their investment within 2–3 years through energy savings, and they continue delivering free hot water for 15–20 years thereafter — making them one of the fastest-payback solar products available.
