Sustainable Energy Saving Systems

Emerald Energy, Econova, and Ecogenica produce the most energy-efficient heat pump water heaters, according to the VEU (Victorian Energy Upgrade Program). These models achieve over 80% energy savings and are an excellent choice for families seeking affordable, premium, and smart hot water solutions, as they deliver better energy savings compared to high-cost models like the Reclaim heat pump water heater.

Our experience working with governments and manufacturers in designing and consulting on state and federal rebates to reduce the installed cost of premium heat pump water heaters allows us to advise on the best value-for-money sustainable energy-efficient heat pumps and hot water systems.

Choosing Sustainable Energy Systems means opting for quality and reliability. With 30 years of experience in the renewable energy sector, we are committed to delivering exceptional service and support to our residential and commercial clients. 

Technology can be used to align hot water production with solar power generation. One of the most notable applications for reducing hot water costs is the Emerald Energy heat pump water heater.

The Emerald Solar Soaker is an automation feature for Emerald heat pumps that uses your home's excess solar power to heat your hot water or run your air conditioner for free, maximising savings and reducing reliance on the grid. It works with the Emerald App, Electricity Advisor, and Live Link, automatically activating your heat pump when solar generation is high, turning surplus energy into free hot water or cooling instead of sending it back to the grid. 

Battery automation and remote control can lead to energy savings and increased efficiency. Sustainable Energy Systems integrates and collaborates with independent third parties to ensure ongoing compliance and security. Installers can help you select the best battery storage solutions. These technologies help secure greater value through smarter, more energy-efficient solutions. At Sustainable Energy Systems, we are committed to promoting heat pumps, batteries, and solar as sustainable technology solutions that benefit homes, businesses, and the environment.  

 What does a 30-year-old Heat Pump Water Heater look like?

Siddons Solarstream, Quantum, and other older brands can now be upgraded under the State Government rebate scheme. We installed this Heat Pump Water Heater in 1995. The Quantum Solar Boosted Heat Pump Water Heaters shown here use black aluminium roof panels. The heat pump extracts heat from the sun. The panels absorb energy from the wind, rain, and sunshine. Originally known as the Siddons SolarPlus, before the name change to Quantum, it was Australia's first residential heat pump water heater. Shown in the photo is a system we sold to Philip Burkert, Robinvale, Vic, in 1995. In 2025, it is still going very well, saving Philip upwards of 75% on his hot water bill, he told us. He is preparing his upgrade plans now; however, you should be ready to avoid delays.
