Siddons Solarstream heat pumps "capture" and thermally magnify the ambient temperature of the air to create hot water. They typically use only about 1/4 of the electrical energy of a conventional resistive element hot water service. Heat pumps are an excellent choice where direct solar radiation is poor and no reticulated gas service is available.

Displacing fossil fuels with renewable generation such as solar and wind power not only benefits the environment, but can also improve the lifestyle of Australians living in remote parts of the country, giving them greater access to electricity, reducing noise and air pollution and reducing the need to transport fuel over long distances.

Grid-connected solar power means that you can generate your own clean energy and feed it back to the grid. The surplus that you feed back will be credited against what you have used and thus save you money.

For example from 1.5kW photovoltaic power system in Melbourne, you could expect to generate around 6kWh/day and thus save up to $400-$1,500/year in power depending on your energy retailer's solar premium rate and what proportion of your solar power is exported from your house.
