Solar Hot Water Initiative  BREAZE is keen to provide practical solutions to reducing greenhouse emissions, not just talk about it. Heating hot water by using fossil fuels is pretty crazy when there is a perfectly good source of heat hitting all of our roofs. Yet although using the sun is a 'no-brainer', solar hot water systems are conspicuous by their absence on roofs in the Ballarat region. How come? Too confusing? Too pricey? Thus one of our first ventures was to look into various solar hot water systems on the market and, via the power of 'collective purchasing power', negotiate a cheaper price. To make things as 'painless' as possible you may now order a discounted solar hot water system via this webpage. To be eligible to do so, you need to be a member of BREAZE (non-members can apply from the menu link) and your residence needs to be in the Ballarat region. Read through the information found by clicking on the various buttons below. By clicking on the link "ORDER YOUR DISCOUNTED APRICUS HWS" at the bottom you will be taken to an order form that will ask you for your contact details and other questions that are required to put your system together.
At the end of the questionnaire, you will need to select a model number, via drop down arrow. You can obtain explanatory information and your model number from the appropriate links below. NOTE: The 'prices, choices and model numbers' docs below give all the applicable REBATE figures for both electric and gas boosted systems.
