What is the advantage of having a solar hot water system?<\/h3>\n
\n\n

In Australia, due to our climate solar hot water and heating systems are an excellent solution for domestic and small business hot water needs. Modern units are reliable and more affordable and their lifespans are getting longer due to the amount of large industrial technology behind these systems. Obviously, they are very eco-friendly as well as hugely reduce your electric or gas energy bills<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

What is the lifespan of a solar hot water system?<\/h3>\n
\n\n

20 years (on average). High-quality modern solar systems have incredibly long lifespans partly because there are so few moving parts. Technology has also come a long way and they generally little maintenance too<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Do solar hot water systems need much maintenance?<\/h3>\n
\n\n

Solar energy systems generally require very little maintenance. The collection panels will need to be kept clear of debris (like leaves and bird excrement) but if well placed this should only be periodic. like any major household system they will require occasional inspections and possibly some minor maintenance but is low compared to gas for example which has more moving parts<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

What are the disadvantages of solar hot water?<\/h3>\n
\n\n

The disadvantages of solar hot water heaters are:
\u2022 Solar thermal panels only heat water compared to photovoltaic panels which can generate electricity
\u2022 Solar water heaters require roof space to accommodate them although sometimes other areas can be utilised
\u2022 They obviously only function with direct sunlight, however, in Australia and NSW this is not a problem for the majority of the year
\u2022 Bad weather like rain or cloud will also obviously restrict their ability to generate hot water but battery storage options can overcome this<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdlplumbdraingas.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/839"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdlplumbdraingas.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdlplumbdraingas.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdlplumbdraingas.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cdlplumbdraingas.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=839"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/cdlplumbdraingas.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/839\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1184,"href":"https:\/\/cdlplumbdraingas.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/839\/revisions\/1184"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cdlplumbdraingas.com.au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=839"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
