Solargain Solar Hot Water
With Australia's abundant sunshine it makes great sense to get your hot water FREE from the sun. With a Solargain Solar Water Heater you can enjoy big savings in your energy bills and reduce your greenhouse gas emissions. Solar Hot Water heaters use up to 90%* less energy than conventional electric water heaters.
Thanks to the available government rebates, having a Solar Hot Water system installed can cost not much more than an electric water heater. And with all the energy costs you’ll be saving, a Solar Hot Water unit can pay for itself within 5 years and then you'll have free hot water thereafter.
Imagine the savings in your energy bills EVERY YEAR. And as energy costs continue to rise, you'll be very glad you made the switch to solar.

Product RangeSolargain offer a comprehensive range of Solar Hot Water comprising both roof and ground mounted tanks with either an electric or a gas booster, as well as a range of energy saving Heat Pumps. Systems range in size from 170 to a massive 400 litres. In addition Solargain have a range of systems that are guaranteed Frost Protected for our frost prone regions as well as systems for non-frost area..
Solargain Roof Mounted SystemsSolargain have a range of roof mounted systems where the tank and panels are located on a North or West facing roof, all have either electrical or gas boosters. Tank sizes are either 200L or 300L with varying number of panels or panel sizes to suit. All systems can incorporate a Frost Protection Valve and our installers will add a water tempering valve to make sure your water isn't too hot in summer.
Our panels are made of high quality copper which absorb heat better than cheaper aluminium products out there. Our tanks are all Vitreous Enamel (glass lined) with a sacrificial anode to prevent the tank from corroding. Our systems have a 5-year warranty. Solargain Ground Mounted SystemsSolargain have a range of ground mounted systems also where the panels are located on your roof but the water tank is firmly located on the ground beside your home, insulated copper piping connects the panels to the tank and hot water is circulated via a small electrically driven pump mounted on the tank. Tank sizes range from 250L to a whopping 400L, and panels vary in number to suit your needs.
A ground mounted system is often slightly more expensive than a roof mounted equivalent, however it means that you don't have a large and heavy water tank sitting on your roof. All systems have a 5-year warranty. Solargain Heat Pumps - iStoreAvailable in 180L or 270L sizes.
What is a Heat Pump? A Heat Pump is essentially an electrically powered hot water tank that incorporates a refrigeration unit and an inverter motor to heat water using around 65% less power than a standard electrical storage tank. A standard electrical storage tank uses a 2.4kW element, that means it uses 2.4 units per hour to heat your water. The Heat Pump basically removes heat from the air and converts it to heat within the water tank. Our iStore Heat Pump unit has a simple to use touch screen LCD control pad whereby you can program the unit to heat water in economy mode when you want. This then allows you to make full use of a Solar Energy system whereby you can use the power generated by your solar panels, so you'd be heating your water 365-days per year for free. Or if you are on a "Synergy Smart Tariff" you can program the Heat Pump to heat during off-peak times, therefore seriously reducing your power bill. |

Reduce Your Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Water heating is the biggest single contributor to an Australian household carbon footprint, accounting for an average of 25% of the typical home's greenhouse gas emissions. By replacing a conventional electric water heater with a Solar Hot Water heater you can reduce your CO2 emissions by as much as 3 tonnes each year, that's like taking a 4 cylinder car off the road.
With hot water free from the sun, you’ll reduce your impact on climate change and make a positive step for future generations.
