Solar Hot Water Systems - Solar Options

Solar Options supplies and installs efficient and solar hot water systems

Solar Options is the leading supplier of solar evacuated tube, solar hot water systems in the Eastern Bay of Plenty.

Solar Options NZ Ltd evacuated tube, solar hot water systems, works on sun light, not sun heat. Producing hot water on cloudy, overcast, frosty and even wet days.

Solar Options has two different evacuated tube systems. One system is where the cylinder sits on the roof and the solar tubes are attached directly to the cylinder. The second solar hot water unit is where the evacuated tubes are mounted to the roof and the heated water is stored in a traditional hot water cylinder placed inside the home.

We can divert excess hot water generated from our solar to other areas like spa pools and swimming pools or for heating. This can be totally automated or just set and forget.

Solar Options also provides solar hot water systems for dairy sheds, swimming pools and other commercial operations like rest homes and holiday parks which can be scaled up or down to match the required needs and temperatures.

Solar Options guarantees quality and reliability

The Solar Options, solar hot water system is an evacuated tube system of German design, tailored specifically to NZ climate and conditions. Tests carried out in Ireland and Australia showed that evacuated tube systems were over 130% more efficient than flat plate solar hot water systems.

Through the most stringent testing and research we believe at Solar Options, that no other hot water system compares in quality, efficiency and out put.
