Solar energy is not only used for generating electricity. Using the sun’s radiant energy to heat water for households saves money and is environmentally friendly.

Solar hot water systems absorb the sun’s energy into a solar collector. The heat is transferred to water that has travelled past the solar collectors and back to the hot water storage tank.

Solar hot water is widely used across Australia.
