What size will I need?Systems are usually sized the same way as off-peak electric hot water systems, as they have a similar window of access to the booster, be it the sun or off-peak electricity. The sun is most effective during the six hours in the middle of the day. Night-rate tariffs commonly run for six hours, from 1am until 7am. Check with your electricity retailer if you are not sure. For a one- or two-bedroom house a 180 litre system is recommended. For a three-bedroom house a 300 litre system is desirable. Four to five bedrooms should be served by a 440 litre system. This sizing looks at the potential maximum number of residents rather than the actual number, as the hot-water service is a fixture in the house but the residency can easily change.
