Well we are coming into the long hot Queensland summer when there is plenty of sunshine and so any solar hot water system is not likely to need any additional electricity boosting, but beware that what you buy now may not do the job very well at all in winter…..

This is something that isn’t mentioned by the sales reps from company’s who only sell traditional style systems, but it is crucial information to have when you are making a buying decision, because all solar hotwater systems aren’t equal in performance and efficiency……..

At Premier Solar we  are dedicated to only recommending the very best value alternative energy products available, and deciding which ones get our tick of approval is about a lot more than just the initial purchase price, because your return on investment over 15 + years is influenced by several factors;

1) The products ability to supply all of your families hotwater needs YEAR ROUND without having to switch back over to paying for electricity “boosting“……..it is a hot country but over winter the hours of sunlight & strength of the sun during that time is greatly diminished, and if you want a solar hotwater system that is efficient enough to still heat up all the hotwater you require then that means buying an “evacuated tube” solar hotwater system.

2) As well as having a 40% improved sun collection ability, evacuated tube systems also score highly for another important reason; they don’t require “roof top collectors” which are not only unsightly, but also rather heavy! Some homes will actually need the expense of an engineers report to ensure that the roof trusses of your home are sufficient to store the weight of the 200-500kg collector that comes will a traditional solar hotwater system.

So if those are good enough reasons for you to look further into the option on using a latest technology Evacuated Tube Solar Hotwater System then you will find that there are 3 companies in Australia who supply them………but there is only one who we use and recommend, and this is why;

3) What happens if there is a warranty or maintenance issue? Well we wish we could say that it never happens, but there are an amazing number of little components involved, and occasionally one is faulty or gets damaged on installation…….if that is the case for you then you are going back to paying electricity costs for your hotwater until it is fixed which is very frustrating when you have just invested a sizable amount of money to stop doing that very thing, and I’m sure you will wanted the problem fixed ASAP! Well not surprisingly due to economic factors all the components are all made in China, but there is an important distinction that sets one company apart;

Apricus Solar Hot Water owns their factory in China and oversees everything that is produced there, and even more importantly they also have extensive warranty service centres Australia wide which continually stock every component used, together with a large number of specially trained service agents & installers……..this is the difference between your problem being fixed within 24-48 hours or having to wait a week or more depending if the part you need is in the  country!

We don’t want our customers to suffer that frustration, and of course we also don’t want to use our resources trying to resolve disputes; Apricus has invested a huge amount of money building the infrastructure to support every need of their customers and that’s why we are proud to be one of their service agents, and strongly endorse the quality of their products……….they aren’t the cheapest brand on the market but we consider they offer the best value for money!
