Rheem Hiline® 52D300 VE Solar Water Heater

Replacing an electric water heater with a Rheem solar system can deliver significant savings. Australian Government-approved TRNSYS modelling indicates energy reductions of up to 60%, though actual results vary based on location and usage.

Financial savings depend on the specific Rheem system installed, collector orientation and inclination, the type of heater being replaced, household consumption, and the applicable fuel tariff.

Yes. Maximum savings are generally achieved by replacing an electric water heater on a continuous tariff, significantly reducing energy costs and improving overall cost-effectiveness.

Roof-mounted solar collectors absorb heat from the sun and transfer it to the water in an insulated storage tank. An electric or gas booster tops up the temperature on cloudy days so you never run out of hot water.

Yes — eligible solar hot water systems qualify for Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs), which reduce the upfront cost. SunCity Hot Water will confirm your eligibility and handle the paperwork.

A well-maintained solar hot water system can last 15 years or more, with the tank and collector panels covered by manufacturer warranties.

Solar hot water systems cost more upfront than electric, but government STC rebates and much lower running costs offset this over time. Call SunCity Hot Water on 1300 728 122 for an all-inclusive quote on the Rheem Hiline® 52D300 VE Solar Water Heater.

As a guide, 1–2 people suit 125–160L, 3–4 people (a family of four) suit 250–315L, and larger households suit 400L. Continuous-flow gas units are sized by hot water flow rate instead. SunCity will help size the right system for your household.
