Solahart Solar Hot water

Solahart pioneered the Solar hot water industry back in the early 1950’s when they developed the first thermosiphon Solar hot water heater. Not a lot has changed in principle since then. We still use the tried, tested, simple thermosiphon system to this day... it’s just a hell of a lot more efficient then the first incarnation.

As Energy & gas costs continue to rise and rise making the switch to hot water free from the sun has never made so much sense. The sun will always be the worlds cheapest source of energy and we have an abundance of it here in Australia.

At NS Energy – Solahart Tamworth we stand by the thermosiphon or roof mounted model. This design has both the tank and the collectors on the roof up off the ground. The benefit to this is it removes the hot water system from Ground level and has everything mounted on top of the roof. This also simplifies operation and installation. As most houses are on a concrete slab, mounting the system on the roof gives us easy access to the plumbing in the roof. It also means we don’t require a pump for the system to operate, it simply runs of mains water pressure. There are also no moving parts in the roof mounted model, so less things that can go wrong, as the saying goes keep it simple stupid ( not that we are implying anybody is stupid)

Solahart also offers a more comprehensive warranty on the roof mounted models with up to 10 years Cylinder warranty, 5 year collector warranty plus a 5 year parts and labour warranty. Our Solahart systems will save up to 90% of your home or businesses HW heating costs.

Recent improvements to our Rydalmere factory have improved efficiencies, pressure cycle life and reduced weight. Our new tanks are built to withstand 1.25 million pressure cycles! The industry standard for a pass is 250,000. Our new tanks also have state of the art Super Shield tm lining on the inside. During the $45 million upgrade Solahart Industries upgraded the enamel coating & insulation machine to state of the art versions. This protects the inside of your tank for even longer!

Our tanks take around 8 hours to be manufactured compared to other manufacturers that only need 4. What can we say, greatness takes time and the longevity of the Solahart brand speaks for itself.

Solahart Powerstore

The Solahart Powerstore is a revolutionary HW system that uses your excess solar power to heat the water in the tank. Coming in a 315L capacity and taking up the same space as a traditional HW heater it is the ideal system for someone that doesn't want the thermosiphon roof mounted system or doesn't have the space for it as their roof is full of solar panels! The main difference between the Solahart Powerstore and a traditional electric HW system are

1: The triple blade heating elements. These react to the amount of excess solar and have an 800w, 1200w & 1600w section to maximise self consumption and minimise importing power to heat the tank.

2: The Solahart Powerstore also comes with the Solahart Gateway which is a home energy monitoring device which gives the customer live data on their solar production along with consumption monitoring of other household appliances. This allows the customer to maximise their savings and see where their power is going in real time.
The Solahart Powerstore comes with a 10yr tank warranty for peace of mind.

Atmos Frost Heat Pump

Solahart Atmos-Frost is an energy efficient Heat Pump Water Heater designed to be installed in areas where solar hot water
systems may not be suitable. It is a smart renewable energy solution to replace your gas or electric water heater.
The new frost-tolerant addition to the Solahart Atmos Heat Pump range can be installed in almost any location in Australia,
as it is suitable for harsh water, cold climates, and tropical conditions. It draws heat energy from the surrounding air to heat
the water, a reliable and efficient way to reduce water heating energy consumption and cut greenhouse gas emissions.
Solahart Atmos-Frost Heat Pump provides reliable hot water for your family and is suitable for residential applications where
you require energy efficient hot water, without the need for roof space for solar collectors.
Installation is quick and easy. Solahart Atmos-Frost can usually be installed in the same location as an outdoor electric water heater and connected up to the existing plumbing and electrical connections, making it a great energy saving replacement for an existing water heater.

Atmos Eco Heat Pump

A Solahart Atmos® Eco 280 Heat Pump creates hot water out of thin air. It’s the smart choice for people looking for an
energy-efficient alternative to an electric water heater but who are unable to install a solar water heater. It heats water by drawing
heat from the surrounding air and is a reliable and efficient way to reduce energy consumption and cut greenhouse gas emissions.
Heat from the air is absorbed by an evaporator and transferred to the water through an advanced wrap-around microchannel heat exchange technology for uniform and faster water heating.
This process continues while heating is required until the water in the tank is fully heated.
