As energy costs rise and sustainability targets tighten, more New Zealand businesses are looking to reduce their emissions and operating costs. One of the most smartest ways to do this is by upgrading essential systems – such as hot water
An Apricus ETC30 collector has 2kW peak output for 4.4m² collector, operating at 60% – 70% efficiency at domestic hot water temperatures. This compares to 2kWp photovoltaic (PV) solar system covering 13m² of roof and operating at up to 20%
It’s difficult to compare COPs between heat pumps and solar hot water systems because it depends on when you are measuring them. A solar hot water system using only 30W for the pump will be returning up to 2kW of
We can all play a role in developing a more energy-efficient economy using lower carbon, cleaner technologies in our buildings. By focusing on decarbonising energy our government is starting to deliver on the commitments we made in the Zero Carbon
Generally, flat plate systems are cheaper, but there are many good reasons to pay a little bit more for evacuated tube solar hot water collectors. See below: They capture more of the sun’s energy at a given time because they
Will I have hot water on cloudy days? Yes your solar system will still generate some hot water on cloudy days, but it will not produce as much as on sunny days. Therefore, the back up electric element will kick
A common problem we have found with existing installations is that the companies that originally supplied or installed the systems are no longer operating. There will be plenty of systems out there that may require some spare parts or replacement
You can reduce energy use when heating hot water in your home by installing the most efficient system available – a high performance heat pump or solar hot water system instead of gas water heater or standard electric cylinder. A
