What Are People Saying About Solarmate?
We have the solar hot water system installed at a few places in the hospital. The generated hot water will be used for laundry, kitchen, and hostel bathroom. I have not faced any major issues with these installations since the Solarmate team handed over to us. From time to time, I will have to switch on the backup heater when the weather turns cloudy for days. Maintenance team will clean the heat collector panel quarterly so that the hot water supply is consistent and uninterrupted. I think the solar hot water system requires the least attention compared to other equipment in the hospital.
Our management decided to bring in the solar hot water system with the intention of cutting down the electricity bill. During the last meeting we had, the management announced that the savings from these years had just surpassed the cost of investment for the solar hot water system. The management claimed that this is a very successful investment, and the savings can be allocated for other upgrades in the hospital.

Our system is great, we have not been without hot water at any time. There have been only a few days that we needed to switch on the backup heater because of cloudy weather. Most days that have clouds still have enough solar heat available to provide for our hot water needs. And our storage tank stores enough heat for a couple of days if we are conservative with our hot water usage when it is extremely cloudy.
We have not been using the electric heaters to heat up the water for more than two months, I guess. It really helps us to save on the electricity bill. We are happy with the system so far, I think this is one of the greatest deal I had in quite some time.
