Replacing an existing electric water heater

There’s never been a better time to get in to Solar Hot Water

Big Government Rebates


Electric water heating is the single biggest contributor to household greenhouse gas emissions. Installing a Solahart instead can save as much as 2.6-3.5 tonnes of CO2 every year. In fact a Solahart solar hot water heater is so good for the environment that big Government rebates and incentives are available to help make the switch.

The table below outlines the financial incentives and rebates that are available for a typical household who replaces their electric storage water heater with the most suitable Solahart electric boosted solar model in that state.

Renewable Energy Certificates (REC/STCs)

KF Free Heat

For all installations from 1st January 2011 onwards, RECs changed to STCs under the new Small-Scale Renewable Energy Scheme.

Every Solahart hot water heater qualifies for RECs (now known as STC's). These are incentives designed to encourage the displacement of energy produced by non-renewable sources. The financial benefit of REC/STCs varies depending on the Solahart model and your climate zone but is worth around $800 on our most popular models.

The owner of the solar hot water heater can assign the right to create REC/STCs to Solahart and Solahart will reimburse the owner for the value of the REC/STCs.
