Solar Hot Water Calculator
Heating water is the largest single source of greenhouse emissions in Australian homes

Stratco offers two, environmentally sound and technologically advanced ways to provide your home with all the hot water your family needs. A solar water heater uses the radiant heat from the sun to heat water which passes through collectors located on the roof of a house. Heat pumps use the reverse of a refrigeration process, transferring heat from the air to a hot water tank.

Solar water heaters have boosting systems for days when solar input is lower than usual due to cloud cover, with systems designed for boosting by natural gas or an electric element. Even in cooler southern parts of Australia, solar energy is able to supply up to 80 per cent of annual hot water energy needs. Though solar input is maximised when collectors are installed facing north, there is some flexibility in orientation, so almost all houses should have a suitable roof area for collectors.

 

Rainwater Calculator
Benefit from environmentally friendly cost savings to hydrate your home and budget

The Stratco Tank range has water storage solutions that combine form and function with quality manufacturing to deliver tanks that last the distance. Stratco tanks are produced from the highest quality materials and will provide many years of service if the important recommendations set out in the Stratco ‘Selection, Use and Maintenance’ brochure are followed.

Rainwater is a valuable natural resource that can be collected as an environmentally responsible way to provide real cost savings to any home or business. Homeowners and urban planning authorities are recognising the benefits of rainwater collection with new legislation being introduced in many areas.

A rainwater tank can save up to 100,000 litres of water a year in an average home. Collected rainwater can be used to water the garden, wash the car, or as drinking water. With additional plumbing and a pump, a tank can be used to flush the toilet, fill a washing machine, fill a water heater or be used through a cold water tap.
