Why solar hot water?
Hot water is one of the easiest places to cut energy costs.
Evacuated tube technology performs well in changing New Zealand conditions because each tube is highly insulated and efficient, even when the air temperature drops.

How it works
Simple, efficient, and low maintenance.
- Sun heats the evacuated tubes
The collector absorbs solar energy, even when the weather is cooler. - Heat transfers through the system
A controlled loop carries that heat to your hot water cylinder. - Your cylinder stores hot water
Solar does the heavy lifting, with backup heating available when needed.

QUESTIONS
Frequently Asked Questions
Most households save 50–70% on water heating costs. Actual savings depend on household size, usage, and system configuration.
Yes. Evacuated tube collectors are highly efficient in cold conditions and work well even on overcast days. A backup element ensures hot water when solar contribution is lower.
Most residential installs are completed in 1–2 days. Commercial projects vary depending on system size and site requirements.
In many cases, yes. We’ll assess your current setup during a free site visit and recommend the best integration approach.
Very little. Occasional system checks and glycol top-ups are typically all that’s needed. We offer servicing packages for peace of mind.
Suitability depends on available roof space, orientation and shading, your daily hot water use, the condition and size of your cylinder, and the plumbing route. Most systems retain electric or gas backup for periods of low solar input. During a free assessment, Consol checks these factors and recommends a system sized for your property and usage.
