The Queensland Solar Hot Water<\/a> program is delivering and installing $500 systems for eligible Queenslanders and $100 for pensioners. But as you might expect, there is the mother of all waiting lists.<\/p>\n

To date more than 850 customers have been allocated to suppliers to conduct inspections and install new systems.<\/p>\n

By the end of this week over 110 systems will have been installed in Brisbane and a further 200 have been contacted to arrange site inspections.<\/p>\n

More than 43,000 Queenslanders have registered their interest to participate in this program with more than 10,000 completed applications received so far.”<\/p>\n

The Queensland Solar Hot Water Program wants to make it easier and more affordable for Queenslanders to switch to solar energy to heat their water.<\/p>\n

Under the Program, eligible people will have access to a standard installed and warranted solar water heater. The price given will be less than what is currently available in the market.<\/p>\n

The Queensland Government has made a Standing Offer Arrangement with a number of companies. The arrangement is to supply people with high quality solar water heaters. The cost for them is a payment of $500 or $100 if they are pensioners or low-income earners.<\/p>\n

The only payments people will have to pay are expenses for non-standard installations (e.g. Council fees, pipes, cables, additional electrical equipment or plumbing, or electrical switchboard upgrades.).<\/p>\n

This Program will help the replacement of energy greedy electric storage how water systems for greenhouse friendly solar water heaters.<\/p>\n

Installing a solar water heater will give your house energy savings of up to 25 per cent. It will also cut household greenhouse gas emissions by up to 30 per cent.<\/p>\n

This Program will also help transition the community towards the 2010 Electric Storage Hot Water System Phase Out.<\/p>\n
