EDWARDS SOLAR HOT WATER

WHY NOT DO THE RIGHT THING BY THE PLANET?

 

 

Around 25% of a usual household's energy is attributed to heating your water - see chart.

Edwards have been manufacturing solar hot water services in Australia designed specifically for our conditions for over 45 years.

Interesting facts on how you can do the right thing by the planet:-

  • 4 million Australian homes have electric hot water services
  • Replacing an electric hot water service with an Edwards Solar Hot Water Service
  • saves 3-4 tonnes  CO2 emissions per year.
  • Reduces water heating energy usage by 80%
  • Equivalent to taking a small 4 cylinder car off the road

 

Solar Collector Panels

 

There are two collectors available -

 

Australis Series 2 - The high performance collector - solidly constructed from high grade copper and aluminum housed in a durable Colorbond Tray

 

Titan Series 2 - the ultimate collector- designed especially for high performance in cooler climates.  Edwards have taken advantage of the latest advances in heat transfer technology to build superior collectors to gather as much of the sun's energy as required.  The Titan Series 2 collector uses an advanced titanium coated copper solar absorber plate combining first grade copper with titanium, to show superior qualities in both solar performance and durability when compared with other collectors.

LX Series 2: Solar Hot Water System

The outer casing of Edwards storage tanks is constructed from highly durable, weatherproof, Colorbond steel.  Edwards offer a choice of seven modern colours for the roof mounted range.  This allows you to choose a system that will complement your roof.

For areas which experience frost or snow and perhaps have less than reliable water quality, the Edwards LX Series 2 solar hot water system is the only choice. It uses the highly efficient heat transferring properties of a special anti-freeze fluid, Glycol to transfer the absorbed energy to heat the water indirectly. With an 'indirect system' water does not pass though the collector panels, instead the Glycol mixture is circulated from the collectors through a jacket which is wrapped around the storage tank, transferring the heat into the water.

Edwards Solar Hot WaterThe benefit of this 'indirect' heat exchange process is that the system can be used confidently in frost areas, without risking damage to the system; it offers protection against freeze damage in conditions of up to minus 18 degrees Celsius.

The new modern design of the LX Series 2 solar hot water system was designed and manufactured right here in Australia for our harsh Australian conditions, not only will it compliment any homes roof and save you immediately on your homes energy costs, it offers you peace of mind knowing it has been developed to last for years in our tough climate.

 SPLIT SYSTEMS

GTS Series 2: Solar Hot Water System

The All Climate Solution

The advantages of the Edwards Series 2 Solar Split Systems are two fold. Firstly; the stylish, slim-line design of the solar panels minimizes the visual impact. Secondly, the ground mounted family sized storage tanks provide flexibility of installation options. All this while saving heaps of your household water heating costs.

Depending on your requirements and location you have the choice of two proven high performing collector panels. If for example, your home is situated in a temperate or tropical zone, the Edwards Australis Series 2 collector is for you. If however, you live in a cooler climate, or, have heavier hot water usage, then the Titan Series 2 collector may be more suitable. Your local Edwards dealer will recommend which model will perform best for your requirements.

For areas that experience frost or snow and perhaps have less than reliable water quality, the Edwards GTS Series 2 system is the only choice.

Being an "indirect" system it uses the highly efficient heat-transferring properties of a Glycol mixture to transfer the absorbed energy to heat the water indirectly. The benefit of this "indirect" heat exchange process is that the system can be used confidently in frost areas, without risking damage to the system.
