Rheem has always maintained a steady flow of innovation. For more than 25 years Rheem has been at the forefront of development in Solar and Renewable Energy Water Heating technologies.
A Rheem solar hot water system is an excellent environmental and financial investment. It can significantly reduce fossil fuel energy use which means less pollution and fewer greenhouse gas emissions.
Which solar water heater you choose will depend on where in Australia you live, which way your home faces and even the pitch of your roof. So it's important to talk to your local Rheem Solar Specialist about the Rheem solar hot water system which is ideal for you. There will be days during the year when your solar system doesn't receive sufficient energy from the sun to provide all the hot water you need.
*Eligibility criteria apply. Incentive schemes are subject to change without notice.
Available under a Federal Government legislated scheme Small Scale Technology Certificates (STCs) provide a financial benefit for the installation of eligible solar water heaters and heat pumps. These incentive scan reduce your initial investment making a Rheem solar hot water system not only a good choice for the environment but also for your pocket. Ask your local Rheem Solar Specialist how much you will save.

A good-sized roof – most houses will use 2 collectors which are each around 2m tall x 1 m wide. That means you need at least 2m x 2m, plus some clearance space on your roof. You’ll also need some ground space for the ground-mounted hot water storage tank. For a roof-mounted tank, you’ll need even more roof space.
Not long at all, particularly if the installation is well planned. If a ground level storage tank is installed first, you won’t be out of hot water for long, as the tank can operate using its gas booster until the collectors are installed. An experienced installer will organise the necessary trades (a licensed plumber and electrician) so you are quickly enjoying hot water from your new solar hot water system.
If you replace an electric water heater with a solar model or a Heat Pump, you are probably eligible for government incentives. Have a look at our Solar rebates page for details on what incentives are available for our products and contact the relevant government departments more information of their specific incentive schemes. You may need to claim rebates within a certain period of time after your installation – make sure you lodge your claim within this time period.
Yes. All Rheem solar water heaters come with either a gas or electric boost function, so you can get hot water even when it’s cloudy. Different systems are suited for different climate zones. Your Rheem Solar Specialist can advise on what is right for your location.
