With many households already generating their own clean solar power, many are now looking at how they can make their entire home energy system more efficient, with hot water heating often the logical next step.
With hot water roughly accounting for a quarter of the average home's energy use, switching to an energy-efficient hot water system is one of the biggest opportunities for savings. Across Ti Tree and the 0872 area, 606 homeowners have already switched from older electric storage and gas hot water systems to solar hot water or air-source heat pump systems that draw on clean, renewable power while also claiming the hot water rebates to reduce their hot water heater system cost. These highly-efficient systems not only help cut energy bills but also reduce carbon emissions and improve overall energy independence.
With Ti Tree's climate delivering an average of 6.2 kWh/m² per day, conditions are ideal for hot water systems and hybrid heat pump systems that harness both sunlight and ambient air temperature to heat water efficiently all year round. When paired with existing rooftop solar power or solar batteries, the result is hot water that costs far less to run and is powered by clean, self-generated energy.

Ti Tree is blessed with serious sunshine. The local weather station records mean daily solar exposure of about 22.2 MJ/m², which is roughly 6.2 kWh of solar energy per square metre per day over the year. That is perfect for getting the most from a solar hot water system, solar hot water heating system or a modern heat pump hot water system that sips electricity while using the warm desert air. For many households, shifting from older gas or resistive electric hot water to heat pump hot water or solar hot water is the logical next step in lowering bills and emissions.
In the 0872 postcode there are thousands of dwellings, many three‑bedroom homes with busy families, so reliable hot water is non‑negotiable. Hot water can easily be a quarter of a home’s energy use, so choosing the most efficient hot water system you can afford has a big impact on annual bills. Brands like Rheem heat pump hot water, Sanden heat pump and Rinnai solar hot water are all popular options for those chasing the best heat pump hot water system or the best hot water system Australia can offer in harsh outback conditions.
Typical savings in Ti Tree will vary with tariffs and usage, but the pattern is clear. Upgrading the hot water installation can deliver strong annual bill reductions:
• Old electric to heat pump hot water system: save around $400–$800 per year. • Gas to heat pump hot water: save roughly $300–$700 per year. • Gas to solar hot water system: save about $250–$600 per year. • Old electric hot water system to modern electric hot water with rooftop solar: save $300–$700 per year.
Recent years show how quickly locals are embracing efficient options. There have been 606 efficient hot water installations (solar and heat pump) recorded in the 0872 postcode, with a noticeable jump from 2018 onwards. Years like 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021 saw strong numbers of heat pump hot water installation and solar hot water installation, reflecting growing interest in electrification, lower running costs and getting better value from rooftop solar. Each new system installed helps reduce the need for hot water repair on ageing units and cuts reliance on bottled or reticulated gas.
When it comes to hot water system price or cost, many Ti Tree residents are pleasantly surprised once rebates are factored in. Federal Small‑scale Technology Certificates (STCs) reduce the upfront solar hot water price or cost and heat pump hot water price or cost, while Northern Territory hot water rebate NT programs and national schemes can support heat pump hot water rebate and solar hot water rebate offers. There are also incentives in some cases for electric hot water system rebate options when replacing old gas, making electric hot water installation more affordable. These discounts can trim the installed solar hot water price or cost by a substantial percentage, and payback periods are often cut to just a few years – even faster if you use timers or solar‑diversion so your electric hot water installation or solar hot water tank replacement runs mainly on your own solar.
Choosing between heat pump vs solar hot water or solar hot water vs electric hot water comes down to roof space, budget, and whether you already have PV. A quality energy efficient hot water system from brands such as Rheem solar hot water, Rinnai solar hot water, Sanden heat pump or Thermann can give you the most efficient hot water system for your situation. For some homes, a simple, well‑sized electric hot water system paired with good solar and an electric hot water vs gas hot water fuel‑switch will still deliver solid savings and avoid future gas price rises.
