Does Solar Hot Water work in cooler climates?
Yes, In fact, one of the systems accredited for the rebate scheme is made in Austria, where there are more SHW units per capita than Australia! If it works there, then it’ll work here. The common knowledge that Northern locations are sunnier is deceptive. There is actually more water heating work to be done in the Southern climates because the cold water starts out colder, solar panels are more efficient in colder temperatures.
