Edwards Solar Residential Solutions

The Stainless Steel Advantage
The storage cylinders for all Edwards roof-mounted solar water heaters by Edwards are long life Marine Grade 316 stainless steel. Stainless steel acts as a natural barrier to corrosion. Therefore, Edwards stainless steel systems do not require a sacrificial anode and are virtually maintenance free. On the other hand, competitors mild steel cylinders with vitreous glass lining are prone to corrosion once the anode has been mostly consumed.

Mild steel cylinders can also corrode from the outside as well as from the inside.

Because of the superior qualities of the Edwards stainless steel systems our award winning performance has earned independent recognition, re-affirming Edwards leadership in solar hot water technology.

Contemporary Range of Colours
The outer casing of Edwards storage tanks is constructed from highly durable, weatherproof COLORBOND® steel. Edwards offer a choice of seven (7) modern COLORBOND® steel colours with their roof mounted range. This colour choice allows you to choose a system that will complement your roof and blend with your homes aesthetics. All this at no additional cost!

Save on Energy Costs
An Edwards stainless steel solar water system is a good environmental and financial investment. It can significantly reduce fossil fuel energy use and consequent pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. A fact recognised by some State Governments across Australia who have banned the use of electric hot water systems in new homes. Not only are you helping the environment by installing an Edwards stainless steel solar water system, you will also save heaps on your household energy costs.

Which System Suits You
Which system you choose will depend on where you live, which way your home faces and even the pitch of your roof. So it's important to talk to your local Edwards dealer about the Edwards Solar Hot water system which is ideal for you.

There will be days during the year when your solar system doesn't receive sufficient energy from the sun to provide all the hot water you need. Edwards gives you the option to have either an in tank electric element booster or a gas in-line continuous flow boosting unit. The choice is yours; ask your local Edwards Solar Hot Water dealer which option would be best suited to you.

Domestic Hot Water Systems
Indirect Mains Pressure/Low Pressure Domestic Hot Water Calorifiers

In many instances today, the standard method of obtaining domestic hot water supply, is being augmented with the use of a solid fuel burning appliance. This appliance could be a solid fuel cooker, separate hot water circulator, an open fireplace or solar collectors. There are many types and models of modern cooking stoves available which have provisions to deliver hot water in abundance. Also with the installation of an open fireplace, provision can most times be made to incorporate a hot water back boiler to supplement an existing water heater (free vented type only). In some cases where the solid fuel appliance is of sufficient capacity, heating units such as radiators, towel rails, etc. can be installed to provide a form of house heating.
