Jessups Retravision is leading the way with advanced solar energy solutions for homes and business and government sectors Managing director John Thirgood said solar products are where the energy market is heading. "And we are positioning ourselves at the forefront by delivering top quality products to meet market demand Solar hot water can save the commercial sector big money", Mr Thirgood says. "The Commercial high volume Quantum Heat pump hot water systems meet the heavy demands such as shower blocks for post match Aussie rules teams without going cold and then recover quickly for the seniors post match as well. Or in the dozens of dairies where we have installed them where typically over a thousand of litres of hot water is required for daily equipment wash downs. Motels, here again these systems meet the demand criteria yet save up to 75% of the running costs of currently used electric and gas systems." "The Greenhouse Office classes this technology as 'solar' because the Heat Pump system only uses about one quarter of the energy to steal free heat from the air which was heated by the sun, just like home heat pumps and is equally as efficient as roof solar panel systems." The advantage over solar panel collectors is that they are not only compact, but can operate without sunshine exposure 24/7 and do not have or require a high cost direct electric backup element either. "It makes these solar systems run at a quarter of the cost of traditional hot water systems." Quantum's high performance design features heat transfer coils that are double wrapped around each commercial unit cylinder with a larger 1.7kw maximum demand heavy duty compressor as compared to residential systems. Each unit's capacity is 340 litres. Mr Thirgood said high volume hot water users such motels, sporting clubs, dairy farms and restaurants are turning to this technology in droves, whilst the Government rebates are currently at an all time high, and may be altered or reduced or eliminated in the future at the whim of government decision. Also with the emergence of efficiency audits and the likelihood of future carbon taxes for non energy efficient business, coupled with the huge savings and massive rebates available, it is time to act and invest in curbing business overheads and as a result being more cost effective or equally competitive with your savvy competitors who have already invested in the technology. "The advantages and potential to save is huge," he said. "And as power prices rise, the savings increase." We also employ our own solar squad plumber/electrician teams whom are proficient and normally are the cheapest cost option for installation as they can virtually do them in their sleep, they are so familiar with procedures and very cost efficient, plus we do not look to make profits from the installations which helps the customer decision process and thus drives the numbers in sell through. Mr Thirgood said they sell Quantum products because the company has been an industry leader in solar technology for decades. "The Quantum story is based on innovation and the quest to harness renewable energy to produce sustainable hot water." "The origins of the company go back to the mid-1970s." "The technology has been progressively developed and enhanced." Over the years there has been growing interest in technologies that reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Quantum manufactures high quality products with a strong focus on technical innovation and energy efficiency. "With 30 years of on-going product development of a proven technology, Quantum is able to confidently provide worry free operation and product reliability." "Quantum hot water heat pumps will deliver customers' financial and environmental benefits for years to come."
