FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What booster options are available for the Rheem Hiline® SS Solar Water Heater?

The system offers both electric and gas booster options, ensuring a reliable hot water supply even during overcast or rainy days when solar energy is insufficient.

How much does the water heater tank weigh when empty?

The empty tank weighs 52 kilograms, allowing for relatively easy handling during installation and maintenance.

What is the weight of each solar collector?

Each solar collector weighs 36 kilograms, providing a sturdy structure to efficiently capture solar energy.

How does a solar hot water system work?

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.

Is there a government rebate for solar hot water systems?

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.

How long do solar hot water systems last?

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

How much do solar hot water systems cost?

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® SS Solar Water Heater.

What size hot water system do I need?

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.
