How does solar hot water work to heat my water and lower my bills?

Solar hot water is an energy-efficient way to reduce household power bills by using the sun to heat water for everyday use. For the average australian household, this can be a smart long-term option that lowers reliance on a standard electric hot water system while supporting a more sustainable home.

A solar water heater works by capturing solar energy and using it to heat water that is stored for later use in water storage tanks. It can be an excellent upgrade for homes replacing an existing electric unit, helping improve efficiency and reduce ongoing running costs without sacrificing reliable hot water.

Too Hot To Handle provides expert installation and servicing for every solar water heater, helping Geelong homeowners choose the right system for their needs. Whether you are moving away from an older electric hot water system or planning a new installation with quality water storage tanks, our team can help you make the most of solar hot water and its long-term savings.

subtitle element Why go solar?

What are the advantages of running my hot water system on solar power?

Heat pump hot water systems already use far less energy than a standard electric unit, and running one on solar power reduces your grid electricity use even further, so the savings compound instead of just shifting where the electricity comes from.

It also means you get more value from the solar panels you already have, putting the power they generate toward one of your household’s biggest energy costs instead of exporting it back to the grid for a lower return.

Too Hot To Handle helps Geelong homeowners set up their heat pump hot water system to make the most of their solar power, whether you’re adding a heat pump to an existing solar setup or planning both together.

subtitle element Is it worth it?

What are the cost benefits of running my hot water system on solar power?

A heat pump hot water system already uses significantly less energy than a standard electric unit, and running it on solar power during the day reduces your grid electricity use for hot water even further. Over the life of the system, that combination can add up to substantial savings compared to a standard electric hot water system running entirely on grid power.

Eligible homeowners may also be able to reduce the upfront cost of the heat pump itself through government rebates and incentives, on top of any benefit from an existing or planned solar system.

At Too Hot To Handle, we can talk you through the numbers for your household, including how your existing solar setup (or a planned one) affects the payback on a heat pump hot water system.

Frequently asked questions

Because your heat pump hot water system draws on the same power supply as the rest of your home, it isn’t limited to only running when the sun is out. On cloudy days or in winter when your panels are generating less, the system simply draws more from the grid to keep working, so you’re never without hot water.

Running a heat pump hot water system on solar power works for most homes, whether you already have solar panels installed or are planning them. The main things that affect the setup are your household’s hot water usage and your solar system’s size, both of which we can assess as part of your quote.

The payback period depends on your household’s hot water use, your existing electricity costs, and how much of your heat pump’s running time overlaps with your solar generation. Check our energy rebates page for what’s currently available, or we can give you a realistic
