Fact finding - what, where from, how much & how do you find it?! I can see a lot of info on the net for the Eastern states, but not much at all from over here. Even if someone can suggest a reliable source to help with best options for Perth and our requirements, that would be awesome Cheers Re: evacuated solar hot water options Perth 2Feb 21, 2012 1:34 pm Hi, We live in Margaret river, and had an Apricus Evcuated tube system put in about 2 years ago. It is a 300 litre 30 tube system. We have only ever had to boost twice when the family came over, drained the hot water at night and we wanted hot water for morning washing. very impressed with the performance of the system so far, i would imagine it would be even better in Perth given the climate. We bought it from a local plumbing supply shop and had a local plumber install it. All the paperwork for the rebates we did ourselves so less STC's and Gov rebate for replacing electric storage we were out of pocket just under $4k. hope this helps Re: evacuated solar hot water options Perth 3Feb 21, 2012 2:13 pm I was googling about Evacuated tube technology and came up with this - I was blown away as it is soooo informative about this technology and includes a lot of comparisons between versions of the tank/tube setup by various manufacturers.
