The AG210 is a low cost DIY solar / electric capable unit. A standard NZ element socket is available for a registered Electrican to install electrical backup.
These high pressure, 210 litre evacuated tube based solar hot water heaters are excellent value for a bach, sleep-out or shed.

As well this system can be integrated into an existing high (mains) pressure residential home as a "pre-heater" or thermal water jacket.


We have provided some sample flow diagrams for examples, but a plumber should be used for installation and system design.

This product is an upgrade from the smaller 135 litre unit we used to sell - 210 lites is much better suited to standard household needs - but below are some reviews for the AG-135:

Customer Review June 09
To the whatpowercrisis team. I Just wanted to say thank you for the help you gave me with my new 130 liter low pressure solar hot water cylinder. It is absolutely fantastic. I would totally agree with the 40% power saving that has been reported. Since installing the solar hot water cylinder our average power bill has decreased from around $150 month to $90.

 

I have had absolutely no problems with the hot water cylinder since I installed it, (everything was in the box that said would be) and the water pressure has actually increased from when we had our mains powered hot water cylinder.

 

I would urge anyone who is scared of giving low cost solar hot water cylinders a go to try it. In total from the whole system I have spend about $1500 including the cylinder, hot water tempering valve, piping and fittings, wetback element for my fire and wetback adapter for the cylinder itself. I estimate to have the whole unit paid off in 1.5 to 2 years.

 

Throughout the summer I averaged 50-70 degree hot water and did not require the back up electric element at all. We often had up to 5 adults staying in the house over weekends and had more than enough hot water to go around.

 

I am now excited to continue my low cost off grid mission, and am looking to install a wind turbine and one solar panel. I will start with running the house lights and plug circuits off wind and solar, leaving the oven and fridges to run off mains power.

 

Good luck

 

James from Waiheke
