case (at least in winter) seems to be around 7am and 7pm - the absolute peak power price - presumably more than offsetting all of the benefits of the solar. Just another maddening example of horrible Australian manufacturing dressed up as something else.

Soul destroyer product- Do not buy – The system came with the house package from MacDonald Jones Homes. Installed in near perfect conditions, no scaly water, not a corrosive area, 2… Read more

person water load but failed just after 5 years with solar controller green LED off, and red LED blinking. Electric booster was running and bills went through the roof. System is a Loline with panels on the roof, and tank on the ground. Suspect pump failure as I checked the thermal overload and power supply and all seems fine. Called Rheem call centre and absolute waste of time. They offered a technician to visit and assess the problem which will take 5 minutes on site, and 10 minutes drive each way, so a mere 30 minutes at a cost of $270. The best solar technicians in town have a callout fee (which includes 1 hr on site) for $100 and these guys charge $270 for 30 minutes without even fixing the issue. What audacity after selling me and countless others an absolute LEMON. The call centre then went on to say that after paying $270 for a quick 5 minute assessment of the problem, I will then be given a quote for the actual fix which I expect to cost 2.5 x market rate if they charge people 2.5 x market rate for a basic call out fee. So I told her that I will use the no.1 solar technician in town who charges $100 call out fee including 1 hour of work on site and any basic fixes (this is the standard nationwide anyway). I will not spend 2.5 x market cost on these soul destroying thieves who sell LEMONS that last only a few years in perfect service conditions that other products would last 20 years. At least have the decency to charge market rates for your call out fee rather than RIP OFF $270 for half the time/value compared to others. Thieves is an understatement. Once I fix through a local solar expert, I will gather full details on LEMON products DODGY parts and file a claim through the legal avenues, and also take this further through their complaints team and ombudsman. A product like this deserves a CLASS ACTION.

DO NOT BUY THIS UNIT!!!!! – This unit is only 2 years old and already having issues with it. Green light and red light flashing, knocking in the roof and rattle in tank when red… Read more

light is on. Avoid the Solar loline Water Heater 511161!!! Over $5000 might as well flushed my money down the toilet. Shame on you Rheem charging $200 call out fee!!!!
