where to position the solar panel. On the south side or north side of the roof in Malaysia? Those living in the North they face south. In the South they will face North. For us in Malaysia with side is more effective?

I don't see my friend using any pump for the microsolar heater. The pressure flow is good enugh. Save the pump and power.

Anyone have Monier Solar Heater installed?

My solar installer recommend me 2 days ago the Monier flat panel low pressure. According to him the tube type will leak due to its rubber/silicone wearing off and the pressurised one the coil will leak. Panel type will last more than 10 yrs he said. I am confused. I also need pumps. I am looking for 3 units each the heater and the pump.

Read back a few pages, i did mention on tube leaks and SOLAR POWER is the only one which is designed to b leak proof. For pricing, pls call us at 03-62572412. We try not to quote prices online as many customers abused this good service and show to competitors trying to get better price.

So what brand of solar heater are you installing?

If the solar heater is of low pressure, do u still need the pump?

Where u place the solar heater, on the roof facing entrance and back?

Read back and you can find the cost.

Hi zheilwane,

How long do you guarantee your tanks to be leakproof? Design is one thing, QC of factory production is another.

Is it true that once there is leakage in the tank, the whole tank has to be discarded and replaced with a new one? No chance of mending the leakage by welding, etc?

Hi Zhein,

Can u advise what should I ask my contractor to check or do on the roof to ensure the roof is able to support the Solar Heater?

Hi zheilwane, may i know ur business hour??? visit ur shop yest... closed

we open from mon - sat, 9am - 6pm. U can call us 03-62572412 to check whether we are still open, sometimes close at 7pm

Hi guys,

Just bought a house, which has a solar water heater installed (Solar Mate). It was installed 12 years ago. Problem is, the tank is leaking. The panels are working and everywhere in the house there is hot water. Already asked for technician to check. I have been given the options to repair the tank for 1500RM, get new tank for 2600RM (both no new warranty) or else buy a whole new system for around 4000RM ( with 10 years warranty).

I actually believe in repairing things especially since the solar panel and tank should actually last a couple of years longer to make economic sense.

Any of you have experience or good contact for repairing solar water tank and to do maintenance on panels?

Thanks!

if it is already 12 years, it would b better to change a new solar. Imagine, if u replace the tank, then later the panel spoil, it will cost u more than RM 1k per panel. So, new Tank RM 2.6k New panels RM 2.6k (1.3k each), TOTAL RM 5200.

Here is our latest Promo

Is this normal.?

I've got a solar water heater, yesterday evening, got hot water
After a rainy night
Water lukewarm only ?!?!?!?

mine Solar Mate also. on the 9th yr the tank leaked. under warranty got the tank repaired but according to the technician it was replaced instead othewise it could cost me RM1200. Now still ok, the tank shoiuld last me another 10 yrs, i think.

The leak was due to expansion and contraction of the joints between the tank and the inlet/outlet of the stainless steel tank.

Panels need no maintenance.

If it cost you RM2600 might as well get a new unit, new technology and every thing new like what zheilwane recommended. YOu should consider all other model in the market not just going back to SolarMate. RM4k seems cheap if it is 60gallon type.

how much to install this?

what is the size of your heater? 30, 60 gallon ? How many ppl in the house use it that evening? Just install on that day, if so need more days to get it really hot that can use 2 to 3 days without sun.

wondering why you need hot water in the kitchen.
any reason why you need it?

I'm in the midst of getting quaotation on copper piping installation, since my contractor not really interested to do it. Any suggestion for me? Only 3 bathrooms required. If got contact then better.

More clean to your cookware. Specially oilly.

Faster defrost your food from freeze.

Boil your water shorter time and use less energy.

Cook faster with hot water.


You need to insulate the copper pipe. Otherwise you have problem take longertime to flow out the hot water.
