Testimonials for Hills Solar products

"We are very pleased with our new Solar evacuated tube water heating system. After it was installed in July by Enviro-Friendly, we switched off the electric boost, and have not needed to turn it on since. During this time we have had 4 adults and one child in the house at times, and there has been no problem with hot water supply."
Jane Olsen and David Hayward

"Since installing my system I have not had to run the electric booster for one minute! This winter we have had one day of -6° to 7°C and many days of around –3ºC to 10ºC. In extremes it can go down to –9° overnight with daily maximums around 5°.

We had 5 continuous days of unbroken heavy cloud cover in late May and managed to still get enough hot water from the system ... we were running on almost 100% hot water in the shower at that point. I was so impressed with the product performance and engineering that I installed a single 30 tube system in my daughter’s house at North Richmond (outside Sydney) earlier this year! She is equally happy with the performance of her system."
David Kimmorley, Boro NSW

"We are a busy family of 5 and also have family visiting, children’s friends staying over regularly and in numbers! It is quite a demand on any hot water system and over the last 6 months I’m delighted to have seen the Solar hot water system (30 tube collector) stand up to this test and prove itself well able to handle this. It in fact, with a Bosch instant gas system as a back up, has provided hot water EVERY time….it has not failed us once. It also has no trouble handling two showers running at once. Our gas bill, for the last quarter, was down 81% on the previous bill, proving the effectiveness of the system and obviously drawing little from the back up system. I am totally happy with the Solar hot water system and couldn’t recommend it highly enough. On top of that it feels great to be doing something for the environment."
Robbie Chapman, Vaucluse NSW

"My Solar system has been operating for over three months and, to date, I have not even thought about turning on the booster element and what a great idea it was of your plumber to suggest installing that internal switch so I could control when, if ever, the electric boost is turned on. I’m really delighted with the system’s performance even though we’ve had several extended periods of cloudy days and I expect that even during winter I’ll probably not have to turn on the booster."
Peter Meloy, Gosford NSW

"We were looking for a solar hot water system for the house we had just bought in sunny Byron Bay... I found a leaflet for Solar and called up to find out more…we decided to buy the system based on the benefits and distinct advantages of the Solar system over flat plate systems. We then and arranged a date for installation and awaited eagerly for our new solar hot water system to arrive. The installers arrived on time and did the job expertly, and once the plumbers had finished up we had a free hot water. I switched off the electric booster back-up immediately and haven't used it since (installation was at the beginning of October). The whole family is extremely happy to be bathing in the rays of the sun, so to speak, and we wish more people knew about the benefits of the Solar hot water system."
Chas Warlow and family

"We commissioned the system in August and I had a hot bath the next day. No electricity needed! So far we have had no need for electricity to backup at all, which is on a manual switch. Even after 8 days of rain! We are a family of 4 and can't use all the hot water it generates and when the tank boils the overflow from the PTR valve gets directed back to the main tank to recycle (we are on tank water only). We could detune the system, but this way we don't waste any water and have almost no chance of running out of hot water either. It's great!

I installed the system myself and used a plumber to connect the pipes. No problems for me, with some advice from Solar on the odd occasion. Thanks!! As soon as the system was unpacked I felt comfortable with the look and feel of the hardware and that it was of the highest quality! So far so good, no complaints at all. This system is quality!! It's not cheap - it's good! The service and support has been first class as well. Thanks to all at Solar. I highly recommend your company and the Solar hot Water system and am looking forward to many years of no, or very low, energy bills for hot water."
Jeremy and Claire White, Sherwood Park, Northern NSW
