Kalannie’s sunshine is a big advantage. The town enjoys an average annual solar exposure of about 20 MJ/m² per day – roughly 5.5 kWh/m²/day – which is excellent for both a solar hot water system and a heat pump hot water system. That strong solar resource means a solar hot water heating system or a modern heat pump can do much of the heavy lifting, cutting energy use while keeping showers hot year‑round. With most dwellings being separate houses, there is usually roof and yard space to fit a solar hot water tank replacement, roof collectors or a compact outdoor heat pump unit.
Across the 6468 postcode, 47 efficient hot water systems have already been installed, combining heat pump hot water installation and solar hot water installation. Installations picked up in the early 2010s, with a peak around 2011, and there has been steady interest again from 2019 through to 2025. This local trend reflects a broader push towards electrification, lower running costs and getting the most from rooftop solar in regional WA. As more homes add PV, switching to an electric hot water system or heat pump hot water system that can use daytime solar makes even more sense.
For Kalannie households, hot water energy use can be a big slice of the power bill, especially with older electric storage units. Many locals are now weighing up heat pump vs solar hot water, or solar hot water vs electric hot water, to find the most efficient hot water system for their situation.

Typical hot water system price or cost will vary, but the running cost difference is where the real savings sit. As a rough guide for Kalannie homes:
• Old electric to heat pump hot water system: save around $400–$800 per year on bills. • Gas to heat pump hot water: save roughly $300–$600 per year. • Gas to solar hot water system: save about $250–$600 per year. • Old electric to modern electric hot water system run on rooftop solar: save around $250–$500 per year.
When you factor in a heat pump hot water rebate, solar hot water rebate or even an electric hot water system rebate in WA, the upfront heat pump hot water price or cost and solar hot water price or cost can be much lower than many people expect. Federal Small‑scale Technology Certificates (STCs) and state hot water rebate WA programs can effectively knock a substantial percentage off the installed price. For Kalannie homeowners with a median mortgage repayment of just $683 a month, cutting hundreds of dollars a year off power bills with an energy efficient hot water system can deliver a solid payback, especially if you also use timers or solar diversion to heat water when your panels are producing.
