1. Relying Solely on Grid Power Is Costing You
If your home depends entirely on the electricity grid, you’re at the mercy of rate hikes. Heating and cooling alone account for around 40% of energy bills, meaning even small price increases can make a big dent in your finances.
Switching to solar power is a proven way to cut costs. For example, installing a 6kW solar power system could save a typical family up to $1,500 annually. With over 3 million solar systems installed across Australia, it’s clear that many households are reaping the benefits of renewable energy.

2. Inefficient Water Heating Is Driving Up Your Energy Costs
Water heating is responsible for about 25% of the average household’s energy consumption. If you’re using an outdated electric or gas water heater, your energy bills are likely higher than they need to be.
Upgrading to efficient systems can lead to immediate savings:
- Solar Hot Water: Reduces energy usage for heating water by up to 65%.
- Solahart PowerStore: Turns excess solar energy into heated water, offering a budget-friendly way to store energy.
- Heat Pumps: Use ambient air to heat water, cutting energy consumption by up to 68%.

3. Inefficient Appliances Are Wasting Energy
Outdated appliances like refrigerators, dishwashers, and washing machines often consume far more energy than newer, efficient models. Replacing these appliances can lead to long-term savings, especially if they’re powered by solar energy.
Pairing efficient appliances with smart technology like Solahart’s Home Energy Management System (HEMS) can optimise your energy usage even further. This device monitors energy consumption, shifts appliance usage to off-peak times, and helps maximise your solar power.
