Saving the environment and saving you $$$ Not only does solar water heating reduce your electricity bills – as a renewable energy, it’s better for the environment. With state and federal governments doing all they can to promote renewable energies in the face of climate change, adding a solar hot water system to your home can qualify you for significant rebates and incentives. What government rebates are available for solar water heaters? Employ a NSW licensed plumber to replace your existing electric water heater with a solar hot water system before June 30, 2011, and you’ll be eligible for the State Government’s $300 Hot Water System Rebate and the Federal Government’s $1,000 Solar Hot Water Rebate.
Our plumbers are fully qualified to ensure your solar heating systems are installed to governments’ standards. They will also provide you with the necessary rebate forms and guide you through the claiming process.
Save more with RECs Installing a solar hot water system qualifies you for Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) that can be claimed for cash value. The amount of RECs you can claim varies depending on your water heater’s expected output – check out the Solar Water Heater REC calculator. ARCS Plumbing Solutions customers can use RECs to slash the price of installation. While the market value of a single REC can change, currently you’re looking at up to $1,700 in value, depending on which solar water heater you install. Call us for an up-to-date quote on the current RECs market value. Combine RECs with government rebates and that’s $3,000 in extra incentives – plus a lower electricity bill to boot.
ARCS Plumbing Solutions – the solar hot water heating specialists At ARCS Plumbing Solutions we offer: Electric boosted solar hot water systems ensure water is maintained at 60°C. The system comes with a standard 3.6kW bottom-heating element, but this can be changed to 2.4kW or 4.8kW if required. Clever positioning of the element at the bottom of the tank ensures you’ll have a full tank of hot water all year round, with efficient mid-mounted options available as well. Tanks are available in stainless steel and glass-lined vitreous enamel. Gas-boosted solar hot water systems use continuous flow gas boosters, delivering up to 20 or 26 litres of hot water per minute. Tanks are available in stainless steel and glass-lined vitreous enamel. A ground-mounted tank with the solar collectors mounted on the roof. This reduces the structural load on your roof and is a better-looking alternative to roof-mounted systems. Tanks are available in stainless steel and glass-lined vitreous enamel. This product works on the thermosiphon principle, which relies on water moving through the solar collector and into the tank using heat energy absorbed from the sun. As such, it doesn’t require pumps and controllers. With everything conveniently located on the roof, it maximises space at ground level. Tanks are available in stainless steel and glass-lined vitreous enamel. Truly the next generation of solar water heating. With superior design and enhanced insulating properties, the collectors optimise energy capture while minimising heat loss, providing greater energy efficiency, particularly during winter when thermal energy is at its lowest. The small amount of evaporative liquid in each tube is super-heated by the sun’s energy and formed into a gas. The gas rises to the top of each pipe, and heat transfer occurs between the pipe and water passing through the manifold. Water is then transferred to the tank. At ARCS Plumbing Solutions, our solar evacuated tools are frost tolerant and have passed the AS/NZS 2712: 2007 Standards for both hail and freeze resistance. Our solar hot water systems have passed the freeze test to -15° C without the need for a heat exchanger or Glycol. Evacuated tubes are manufactured using high quality borosilicate glass and attract a 10-year warranty. Using advanced technology and innovative design, the flat panel collectors we use deliver performance efficiencies that exceed those of comparable flat panel solar hot water systems.
The flat panel collectors use single sheet sun selective panels which increase absorption and reduce heat loss. The solar panels are a unique single piece base construction and are laser welded for optimal heat transfer. High-density thermal insulation is used inside the solar panels to minimise heat loss. The result is outstanding durability and exceptional heating and efficiency ensuring a constant supply of hot water. A simple one-piece, compact design makes for a quick and simple installation. There is no need for solar collectors, and pumps can generate over 700L of hot water in a 24-hour period using 70% less energy than a standard off-peak electric storage water heater.
