SolarPeak water heaters are a safe investment »
SolarPeak water heaters are designed and proven to endure harsh New Zealand climatic conditions.
SolarPeak collectors have endured severe hail and gale force winds without a scratch in fact, a SolarPeak buried under snow for 3 days in Christchurch started performing instantly once the sun came out and is still going strong 3 years later.
Some of our clients save up to 90% of their New Zealand hot water bill by managing use carefully. Recently on the 24th November Peter Randall of North road Nelson heated 250 litres of water from 14 C to 85 C with a SolarPeak 30 tube system. Nelson’s Jules Hobbs on Collingwood street got 300 litres to 75C with his newly installed 40 tube system.

More News »26 year old SolarPeak style tubes are still performing . Our new triple coated tubes are much more powerful
In 1984 the first vacuum tubes were developed in Australia and are still functioning perfectly at the NSW University. That was over 26 years ago.
Today N.Z. Govt EECA modelling shows that new more powerful SolarPeak tubed systems can save up to 75% of your water heating costs with normal use.
Our triple coated Tube technology includes pure water in low Oxygen copper heatpipes that we believe are the best available internationally.
A small powerful 3.24 sq m SolarPeak uses less resource and delivers more energy and will last much longer than a competing larger 4.8 sq m flat plate collector because of the incredible vacuum tube technology which protects the absorber from corrosion. A SolarPeak selective absorber is not exposed to condensation that promotes electrolysis. Would you buy a panel that starts corroding in 2 years from now?
Think about it? It’s wiser to invest in a proven product with a track record. Beware of imitations and sales people that state their product is as good as a SolarPeak. Don’t be fooled by friendly salespeople with flash brochures and amazing guarantees. Visit www.rustypanels.co.nz.
New Zealand’s old skill craftsman plumber tradesman are the best
Only licensed qualified and certified solar technicians may install SolarPeak systems. Our oldest installer turned 60 years of age this year, and has installed SolarPeak for 7 years. Our youngest technician is 18 and working alongside a 55 year old crafstman plumber with 8 years SolarPeak experience. Maximum performance, durability and longevity require experience. SolarPeak have a solid solar installation history with notable case studies, we are fully accredited.
Performance Durabilty is critical to your investment
The New Zealand SolarPeak brand is proven, your collector won’t suffer the effects of absorber corrosion, your absorber will still look dark black/blue in 15 years from now. Long term efficiency and durability are critical to your investment. The SolarPeak heatpipe has been tested to prove zero efficiency loss over 3 years. We expect 20>30 years solid performance with minimum maintenance.
