FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the thermosiphon principle work?

The system circulates a glycol mixture through the collectors and a jacketed stainless steel cylinder. Thermal energy is transferred to the potable water within the 300L tank via natural convection, ensuring reliable hot water.

What type of solar collectors does the system use?

The system utilises Rheem SPA2000 collectors, featuring a black-coated mild steel absorber panel for efficient solar energy capture.

Is there an option to boost the system?

Yes, the system features an integrated immersion electric heating unit with a thermostat, ensuring a reliable boost during periods of limited sunlight.

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 Premier Hiline® 52H300 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.
