Getting the best out of your solar hot water system

If you purchased an Apricus solar hot water system, you want to make sure that it is set up and working well.

Below, you can download a new guide for checking and ensuring your solar system is working at its best. 

This guide was researched and prepared by South Hobart Solar Group member Margie Law after some of you found issues with their installations or systems. 

For even more details, we also have a copy of the Apricus manual below.

With the winter solstice approaching, we wish you increasing sunshine,

The South Hobart Solar Group

Installations have commenced...

Installations are now going in at full steam. Here, two Conergy solar power systems are being installed at 12 Saunders Cres, South Hobart on a beautiful day. Unfortunately we still have to wait 6-8 weeks for Aurora to inspect and connect the panels to the power. Ahmet
