Solar hot water uses Perth’s free, abundant sunshine to heat your home’s water, slashing energy bills without sacrificing reliability. Here’s the simple science behind how a solar hot water system delivers hot water 365 days a year.
Solar collector panels mounted on your roof absorb energy from Perth’s 3,200+ hours of annual sunshine, completely free and renewable.
That solar energy heats water flowing through the collector panels. No gas burned, no electricity meters spinning, just sunlight doing the work.
Heated water flows into a well-insulated storage tank, ready and waiting for your showers, dishes, and laundry whenever you need it.
Built-in electric or gas boosters automatically kick in on cloudy days or high-demand periods, so you’ll never run out of hot water, ever.

Hot water typically accounts for 25-30% of an average household’s energy bill. With Perth’s sunshine, solar hot water systems pay for themselves in just a few years, and keep saving for decades.
Solar hot water systems harness the sun’s free energy, dramatically reducing the gas or electricity needed to heat your water. Over time, these savings substantially offset the initial setup cost, and the longevity of solar means lower utility bills for decades, not just years.
Federal STC rebates and state-based incentives can reduce the upfront cost of a solar hot water system by hundreds, sometimes thousands, of dollars. These savings come on top of the long-term reduction in your energy bills.
By choosing solar power, you directly reduce the amount of fossil fuels burned to heat water in your home, significantly lowering your household’s carbon emissions. It’s a proactive, daily step towards a cleaner energy future.
Solar is one of the most sustainable energy sources available. A solar hot water system uses renewable technology that doesn’t deplete the earth’s resources, an eco-friendly solution for your home that performs decade after decade.
Solar hot water systems are remarkably efficient at converting sunlight into thermal energy. Modern solar thermal technology captures a significant amount of the sun’s energy and transfers it directly into heating water, far more efficient than traditional water heating methods.
Even on cloudy or overcast days, today’s solar hot water systems are designed to be effective. Proud Plumbing supplies systems with built-in supplementary energy sources, guaranteeing consistent year-round hot water no matter the weather.

Got questions about solar hot water systems in Perth? Here are the things our customers ask most often.
Most Perth households save 60-90% on the hot water portion of their energy bill after switching to solar hot water. Hot water typically accounts for 25-30% of total household energy use, so the savings add up quickly. The exact saving depends on your household size, hot water usage patterns, and the system you choose. Most systems pay for themselves in 3-5 years and continue saving for 15-20 years after that.
Yes. Most solar hot water systems qualify for Small-scale Technology Certificates (STCs) under the federal government’s Renewable Energy Target. The rebate is typically worth several hundred to over a thousand dollars depending on the system size and your location.
Solar hot water systems still produce hot water on cloudy days – just less efficiently. Every system also includes an electric or gas booster that automatically kicks in when solar output isn’t enough to meet demand. You’ll never run out of hot water, even during a long stretch of bad weather. Boosters typically only run a small amount of the time in Perth thanks to our high sunshine levels.
Most solar hot water installations in Perth are completed in a single day. This includes mounting the new solar collectors and tank, completing all plumbing and electrical connections, and commissioning the system. You’ll usually have hot water restored by the end of the day. Larger or more complex installations may occasionally require a second day.
A quality solar hot water system in Perth typically lasts 15-25 years. The storage tank usually carries a 5-10 year manufacturer warranty, while the collectors are often warrantied for 10 years or more. Regular servicing every 5 years extends the lifespan significantly. We work only with reputable Australian-tested brands like Rheem and Solahart so longevity is built into every install.
We install Rheem and Solahart solar hot water systems. Both are leading Australian brands with proven performance in Perth’s climate, strong manufacturer warranties, and a wide range of system sizes to suit any household. We recommend the right system based on your home, household size, budget, and roof orientation.
Absolutely. Most of our solar hot water installations are upgrades from existing electric or gas systems. The transition is seamless, and households switching from electric typically see the biggest bill savings.
Most Perth roofs are suitable for solar hot water. Ideally collectors face north and have minimal shading, but east or west-facing roofs also work well in Perth’s climate. During the free site assessment we check your roof orientation, pitch, structural suitability, and shading to confirm the best layout. If a rooftop install isn’t ideal, a ground-mounted split system is often a great alternative.
System size depends on your household size and hot water usage. As a guide: a 1-2 person home typically needs a 180L tank, a 3-4 person home needs 250-315L, and a 5+ person household needs 400L or more. We size your system during the free site assessment so you don’t overpay for capacity you don’t need – or undersize and run out of hot water.
We supply and install solar hot water systems across the entire Perth metropolitan area.
