Many households now ask about solar hot water vs electric hot water, or electric hot water vs gas hot water, before deciding.
Hot Water Rebates, Tariffs & Savings
For hot water QLD homeowners, rebates are a big part of the story. In Danderoo, you may be able to claim Federal Small‑scale Technology Certificates (STCs) on an eligible heat pump hot water system or solar hot water heating system, which effectively reduce the solar hot water price / cost or heat pump hot water price / cost at the point of sale. On top of that, state‑based schemes and occasional programs can operate like a solar hot water rebate, heat pump hot water rebate or electric hot water system rebate, cutting upfront hot water system price / cost by a substantial percentage. With the right hot water installation, many households shave hundreds of dollars a year off bills, and when rebates and solar are combined, payback periods can drop to just a few years. Using timers, smart controls or solar diversion to run an electric hot water installation or rheem heat pump hot water during solar hours can further improve savings and reduce the need for hot water repair over time.
