ENVIROSUN IS BETTER A SOLAR WATER HEATER SOLUTION
The AS “active solar” Envirosun Solar Hot Water Heaters are also known as the split solar hot water system, they offer greater flexibility, improved aesthetics for your home and a larger hot water storage tank capacity
These solar hot water systems only require the solar panels to be installed on the roof with the hot water storage tank located at ground level or any other convenient location throughout the home. Envirosun AS Solar Hot Water system are relatively simple in operation – when the solar hot water panels (also known as solar collectors) are able to add heat into the storage tank, a small pump is switched on to circulate hot-water from the collectors and replace it with cool water from the tank.
The circulation pumps are relatively small and silent, they also draw a negligible amount of power (less than 28 watts) that is also only used when operating or needing solar to increase the hot water storage cylinder’s temperature.
When the collectors are 6°C hotter than the water in the storage tank, the circulating pump is operated. When the differential falls to 6°C or lower, the pump is not operated. The microprocessor also uses the sensor information to control a suite of over-temperature protection modes:
BELOW IS A BIT OF TECHNICAL TALK ABOUT THE ENVIROSUN "AS" SPLIT SOLAR HOT WATER HEATER RANGE
ENVIROSUN SOLAR PANELS
Envirosun HS solar panels are manufactured under exclusive license by the American company call Heliodyne. They are the premier solar hot water panel makers for the USA and have been in the solar hot water industry for nearly 50 years now, since 1976.
The Envirosun HS solar panel has a STC rating that is 25-25% higher than competitors. This is determined, accredited and awarded by the Australian Government’s Clean Energy Regulator.
FACT
ENVIROSUN HAVE ONE OF THE HIGHEST RATINGS FOR SOLAR HOT WATER PANELS IN AUSTRALIA
Envirosun also have a solar collector called the HA solar panel that is used in higher solar regions like North and Central Western Australia, North Queensland and Northern Territory and Northern Western Australia. These are also manufactured by Heliodyne

OUR HOT WATER TANKS STAY HOTTER FOR LONGER
Envirosun Cylinders are manufac encapsulated in a pressure-injected, high-density polyurethane thermal insulation. Compared with archaic insulation systems using straw, wool or fibreglass, polyurethane retains more heat and does so for far longer – and it has the added advantage of imparting structural rigidity to the assembled vessel. To find out how polyurethane is used to create a superior thermal barrier, read: our insulation.
Envirosun Systems use this mix of optimisation and over-temperature protection functions to maximise energy savings and minimise heat stresses.
THE BRAINS BEHIND THE ENVIROSUN AS SOLAR
This Envirosun multiprocessor controller is the brains that makes the solar work and it also displays everything that is going on its LED screen
- Tells you the temperature is inside solar panel
- The temperature inside your Envirosun storage tank
- Lets you know if there is any problem with either temperature sensor
- Displays a Green and Red light when it is sending power to the pump
Only the highest quality German made solar hot water controllers are used in Envirosun AS solar hot water systems
THE HARD WORK IS TRUSTED TO
Envirosun solar hot water is pumped by the European-made Salmson solar pump
Envirosun trust all the hard work of circulating the hot water through the solar panels to these proven little beauties.

BACK UP FOR BAD WEATHER
- Electric Element
- Natural and LPG Gas
RUNNING OUT OF HOT WATER IS NEVER A ISSUE WITH ELECTRIC AND GAS BACK UP BOOSTERS AVAILABLE ENSURING THE HOT WATER IS ALWAYS A PLENTY
Envirosun Solar Hot Water Systems are equipped with electric boosters that can also have Natural or LPG gas boosters added to ensure that there’s plenty of hot-water available during the worst weather or when the demand for hot water is high. Electric elements are fitted inside our storage tanks and the gas instantaneous heaters can be installed in-line from the outlet of our systems. Both options are designed to maximise the amount of solar energy that can be collected and utilise the auxiliary in a ‘back-up’ or ‘booster’ mode only.
ELECTRICAL ELEMENT ASSISTED SOLAR
Electrical assisted systems are integrated arrangements that comprise a heating element immersed in the storage tank water, controlled by a thermostat and connected to a power-supply. Both the element and thermostat are positioned at the midpoint of the tank . With the power-supply on, if the temperature at the centre of the tank falls below 50°C, the thermostat ‘opens’ and the heating element is initiated. The element continues to operate until the mid-point of the tank rises to above 60°C. The location of the element and thermostat in an Envirosun system are designed to only allow the booster to only heat the water in the top half of the tank and to leave the bottom portion available for useful solar gain. Our solar hot water systems have the ability to heat water without direct sunlight to approximately 2 x the ambient air temperature, for instance if it is a overcast day and the outside temperature is 22 degC for most of the day, your solar should be able to easily get the water to around 44 degC, minimising the boost needed
GAS BOOSTED SOLAR
Gas boosted systems involve a continuous-flow gas water heater that is mounted separate from the storage tank. The outlet from the solar hot water system is piped as the inlet to the gas heater. If the water reaches the gas heater at a temperature below 60°C, the gas supply is opened, the spark-ignition system fires, and the gas burner operates. If the inlet water temperature is above 60°C, the gas heater does not operate. Made in Japan to the highest quality
UP TO +80% CHEAPER
- Break even time is less than 3 years
- Over $8000 in energy savings over 10 years
- Environmentally Friendly, Energy Saver
Check out some of the comparisons here on different heat pump hot water heater brands and the Australian Government tested and allocated STC rating, the STC is a rated saving that a hot water system has been granted after testing and approved by the Australian Clean Energy Regulator.
The number of STC’s that are issued refers to one megawatt hour (1 MWh) of avoided energy consumption over the heat pump hot water system’s deemed life expectancy
(STC actual payout rates are decreasing 10% every year from 2022. The above rates quoted are the original accredited Australian Government ratings)
S = R – T
where: S: STC count
R: Reference conventional system’s energy consumption (MWh over ten years)
T: Tested system’s estimated energy consumption (MWh over ten years)
Here is a graph showing savings and ratings of STC assigned to Thermosyphon solar hot water systems and the approximate percentage of power saving compared to a conventional electric water heater in zone 3
