The threshold is now removed and systems are found on the following list of packaged solar water heating systems lists . There are two options for funding: a contribution of $1000 towards the cost of a loan to pay for a solar water heating system, or a grant of $1000 towards the cost of a system. Criteria for financial assistance Only systems published by EECA are eligible for financial assistance. EECA publishes participating suppliers’ systems that have been tested to NZ Standards and performance modelled. The cost of the system, including all installation costs and building consent cost.

A Thermocell solar hot water system will reduce yearly costs by up to 75%. Many customers rely solely on their solar panels for hot water most of the year. Thermocell began to manufacture solar hot water panels in New Zealand over 25 years ago. Thermocell is the most experienced and respected solar energy company in New Zealand. Mod-Line Solar (index.php?option=com_content task=view id=12 Itemid=30) Art-Line Solar (index.php?option=com_content task=view id=13 Itemid=31) Solar Electric (index.php?option=com_content task=view id=16 Itemid=35) The heart of the Thermocell solar system is the patented evacuated flat plate solar panel. This is the only solar panel of its type available and it encompasses the best of flat panel and evacuated tube technology. It is an extremely efficient, reliable and visually appealing solar panel. Mod-Line (index.php?option=com_content task=view id=12 Itemid=30) solar hot water panels are modular, slim and can be mounted on the roof Art-Line (index.php?option=com_content task=view id=13 Itemid=31) solar hot water panels can be mounted directly into the roof fabric for a smart, architectural look. The Thermocell solar heating system is simple, yet extremely effective. The evacuated solar panel collects and concentrates the energy from the sun. The computer controller senses the temperature in the panel and cylinder to initiate the super quiet pump when optimum conditions are met. Hot water from the panel is transferred to the cylinder. A digital read out, which can be located anywhere in the house, monitors and visually displays all the information for the different operation modes keeping you informed of exactly what is happening with your Thermocell solar system. Thermocell supply and install both solar hot water and solar electric systems.

Thermocell is the only company able to offer this advanced technology. The panel maximises the benefits of both the common types of solar heating panels – ‘evacuated tube’ and ‘traditional flat plate’ models. The Thermocell panel is designed to start operating at low temperatures and designed to fall just short of boiling the cylinder water, in doing so eliminating thermal stress on the hot water cylinder and components, reducing harm to the roof penetrations and doing away with the extra valving necessary to dump boiling water on to the roof and down plastic gutting.
