Northcote and Northern Suburbs Residents Go Green

According to Darebin City Council’s Sustainability News (Spring 2011) the council has recently installed five solar hot water systems in some its facilities including sports reserves and kindergartens throughout the municipality. This investment in clean energy technologies shows a real commitment by the council to lead the way for its residents to live a more sustainable lifestyle. In 2010, 275 households of the 55,253 residences in the northern suburbs (covered by Darebin City Council) installed solar hot water systems.

Overall, 57,700 Victorian households have solar hot water systems, which equates to 2.8 per cent (Australian Bureau of Statistics). The Federal Government has committed to phase out electric hot water systems by 2020 so there is even more incentive for Northcote residents to install a solar hot water system.

Solar Hot Water System Benefits

For northern suburbs residents, switching to solar hot water is the smart choice – both short-term and into the future. Did you know that replacing an electric hot water system with a high efficiency evacuated tube solar hot water system is the equivalent of planting 200 trees per year or taking a small car off the road?

The benefits of a solar hot water system are immediate – the Federal and State Government’s are making it easier to switch to this renewable energy source with Northcote and northern suburbs residents able to claim up to $3000 in rebates for a premium solar hot water system.

Heating water is the biggest single source of greenhouse gas emissions in average Australian homes. (It accounts for nearly half of a household’s energy consumption.)

The point of a solar hot water system is that the water is heated by the sun before it enters your hot water storage. The water can be further heated but because it’s already warm/hot, the energy the system will use is greatly reduced. Solar systems also have longer life expectancies than most conventional systems that further improve cost effectiveness with 15 year tank and collector warranties available on premium evacuated tube solar hot water systems.
