FREE Building Consents to install an Apricus Solar Hot Water System
$1000 off the overall cost of a new Apricus Solar Hot Water System, via the EECA subsidy.
The opportunity to pay off the balance of your new Apricus Solar Hot Water System over 10 years on your Rates.
Shift Spending Locally - not only do the installations bring money to the local economy (Apricus is based in Mapua), including $500,000 per year in EECA subsidies, but there will be an estimated $500,000 saved on power bills eachyear which will result in more money being available to Nelson residents to spend locally rather than going to the power companies.
Build Community Resilience - the Nelson community can become less vulnerable to security of power supply and increasing prices.
Using Natural Resources - Nelson is known for its sunshine hours (sunniest place in New Zealand!) and solar systems harness this huge, free resource.
Apricus Evacuated Tube Solar Hot Water systems are recognised on a world scale as being one of the premier evacutated tube systems available on the market. There are dozens and dozens of reasons to choose Apricus when investing in a solar system, but here are a few we think really make the difference:
Evacuated Tube Technology |
 | Increased Performance in Cold Weather
The space between the two glass layers is evacuated to form a vacuum which insulates very well against heat loss. This means increased performance, especially in cold weather or when high output temperatures are required. If Tubes Break the System Keeps Working
An added benefit of having an evacuated tube solar hot water system is that if one (or two or even ten) tubes are damaged or broken (they're pretty tough, but a well hit cricket ball could be trouble!), the system will keep working! It will be less efficient, but it will keep working, and the best thing is you only need to replace the damaged tubes - not a large glass panel as with some systems which can be expensive - and replacement is simple, quick and inexpensive. |
Passive Solar Tracking |
 | Tubes Provide 25% More Heat all Day
The round absorber of the evacuated tubes passively tracks the sun throughout the day, providing as much as 25% more heat ouput than an equivalent flat absorber area. This means your Apricus evacuated tubes can effectively collect the free power of the sun from the moment it comes up in the morning, all through the day, right through tol sunset, saving you money on heating your water for as long as possible. |
15 Year Warranty for true Peace of Mind |
 | Apricus is proud to offer a full 15 year warranty on the Copper Header Pipe contained within the system's manifold, the Copper Heat Pipes within the evacuated tubes, the Solar Conversion Valve, and the Heat Dissipator, giving you peace of mind for years to come that your Apricus system will perform reliably and efficiently. In addition to the 15 year warranty on the header pipe, Apricus also has a 10 year warranty on its Evacuated Tubes, with additional frost, hail and wind protection guarantees. With an Apricus Solar Hot Water System you can be confident that your investment is well protected and supported. |
