Solar and Heat Pump Systems
Flat Plate Solar Collectors which go on the roof of your home to capture heat from the sun and
in turn heats the water in the solar hot water system. The hot water is then stored in a insulated storage tank.
On cloudy days the solar hot water system provides the benefit of
a boosting function to raise the temperature within the tank so you always have hot water. Evacuated Tube Solar Systems performs similar functions to solar flat plate collectors. Solar Heat Pumps also capture the sun’s heat, however they do not require collectors to be placed on your roof, instead they draw their heat from the air around them (the sun heats the atmosphere), they operate a bit like a refrigerator in reverse, they are very efficient if large quantities of hot water are required, these systems run on a small amount of electricity. They can also be used for swimming pool, slab and hydronic heating. http://www.enter-shop.com.au/catalogue/c27/c69/c70
