SO BRIGHT, IT PAYS FOR ITSELF Unlike electricity, the power of the sun is completely free. When you switch to solar to heat your water, you naturally make a massive saving. Simply replacing your existing electric system with a Solar Hot Water system will save you up to 85% on your hot water expenses. That s an astounding 310 ¹ days of free hot water every year. Running Costs $10,000 Ongoing Costs $8000 $6000 $4000 $2000 $0 LP Gas Electric Off Peak Storage Gas Continuous Flow Heat Pump Solar Electric Solar Gas Over 10 Years ¹ Savings based on 85% efficiency in zone 3 model E3S136T2DC dependent on orientation and conditions, excludes water supply costs.

HOW DOES SOLAR HOT WATER WORK? 1. The Solar Hot Water system detects the roof mounted panels are being heated by the sun. 2. The system sends cold water up to and through the panels and returns heated water back to the storage tank ready for use. 3. The system continues to harness solar energy until all the water in the tank has reached optimal temperature. 4. Solar heated hot water is available to be used by the house at any time. 1 5. In periods of poor solar gain or heavy water usage, if the water does not reach the optimal temperature, it is boosted by an electrical element or gas heater when required. 2 4 5 4 3 4
STCS. THEY RE LIKE MONEY IN THE BANK It works like this. The Clean Energy Regulator (CER) rates the energy savings of hot water systems by assigning Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs). Every STC is the equivalent of 1000kW of energy saved so the higher the STC value, the more energy your system saves, and the less money you ll spend. The EcoSmart range has one of the highest STC values on the market. That means when you buy an EcoSmart Solar Hot Water system, you ll not only save money in the long run, you ll also make a big upfront saving as each STC is also credited to you as a point of sale discount. The more STCs the bigger the discount. Ask your dealer about the current STC value.

ALWAYS APPLYING LOGIC Take a look below the surface Your EcoSmart system will be constantly monitored for peak performance, thanks to our Hotlogic processor. It checks the system over 1,400 times a day to ensure hot water is being made from the cheapest energy source available. On cloudy or rainy days, it automatically engages the backup booster with either electricity or gas so you don t notice any difference, whatever the conditions. And the really clever part is you don t have to do a thing.
