Save on Energy Costs
An Edwards stainless steel solar hot water system is a good environmental and financial investment. It can significantly reduce fossil fuel energy use and consequent pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. A fact recognised by some State Governments across Australia who have banned the use of electric hot water systems in new homes. Not only are you helping the environment by installing an Edwards stainless steel solar hot water system, you will also save hundreds of dollars per year on your household energy costs.
Which System Suits You?
Which system you choose will depend on where you live, which way your home faces and even the pitch of your roof. So it's important to talk to your local Edwards dealer about the Edwards Solar Hot water system which is ideal for you. There will be days during the year when your solar system doesn't receive sufficient energy from the sun to provide all the hot water you need. Edwards gives you the option to have either an in tank electric element booster or a gas in-line continuous flow boosting unit. The choice is yours; ask your local Edwards Solar Hot Water dealer which option would be best suited to you.
Government Incentives and Rebates*
The benefits to the environment are so evident that the Federal Government has implemented a rebate of $1000 for the replacement of an electric hot water system with a Solar Hot Water System, as well as a financial incentive program; Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs). The South Australian State Government also offers a further rebate to encourage the use of solar hot water. These incentives can substantially reduce your initial investment making an Edwards stainless steel solar hot water system not only a good choice for the environment but also for your pocket. Contact us so we can let you know how much you could save.

Roof Mount Systems
The Stainless Steel Advantage
The storage cylinders for all Edwards roof-mounted solar hot water heaters by Edwards are long life stainless steel. Stainless steel acts as a natural barrier to corrosion. Therefore, Edwards stainless steel systems do not require a sacrificial anode and are virtually maintenance free. On the other hand, competitors mild steel cylinders with vitreous glass lining are prone to corrosion once the anode has been mostly consumed. Mild steel cylinders can also corrode from the outside as well as from the inside.
Because of the superior qualities of the Edwards stainless steel systems our award winning performance has earned independent recognition, re-affirming Edwards leadership in solar hot water technology.
Contemporary Range of Colours
The outer casing of Edwards storage tanks is constructed from highly durable, weatherproof COLORBOND® steel. Edwards offer a choice of seven (7) modern COLORBOND® steel colours with their roof mounted range. This colour choice allows you to choose a system that will complement your roof and blend with your homes aesthetics. All this at no additional cost!
Solar Split Systems
The advantages of the Edwards Ground Mounted Systems are two fold. Firstly; the family sized storage tanks provide flexibility of installation options. Secondly, the stylish, slim-line design of the collectors minimizes the visual impact to your home. All this while saving hundreds of dollars on your household water heating costs.
Heat Pump
Innovation and new technology go hand-in-hand with the remarkable Edwards Heat Pump. It's like a solar water heater without solar collectors. In fact it operates like a refrigerator only in reverse; transferring the heat in the surrounding air to the stored water.
The Edwards Heat Pump's use of refrigeration technology makes it extremely energy efficient using approximately one third the energy of a conventional electric water heater. In somewhat of a revolution in the water heating industry, the Edwards Heat Pump heats the stored water from the top down, in a single pass through the heat exchanger. This means that when you turn the hot tap on, the Edwards Heat Pump is delivering hot water at the set temperature right away. This top down heating contributes to the Edwards Heat Pumps rapid recovery.
The Edwards Heat Pump's stylish design is sleek, modern and unobtrusive. The Heat Pump is more effective in warmer climates, and is equipped with a fully automatic electric booster to provide a continuous supply of hot water.
