Solahart Retains Top Spot For Hot Water Customer Satisfaction

In an industry where reliability is non-negotiable, Australian homeowners continue to place their trust in Solahart. For the third consecutive year, the country’s original solar brand has been named Canstar Blue’s Most Satisfied Customers for Hot Water Systems, reinforcing its position as a long-term leader rather than a short-term trend.

The 2025 accolade sees Solahart outperform seven other brands in the category, with customers awarding five-star ratings for overall satisfaction, as well as standout performance across value for money, features and functionality, and system performance.

While awards are often fleeting, consistency is harder to achieve. This latest recognition marks Solahart’s fifth Canstar Blue win in the Hot Water Systems category, following previous victories in 2019 and 2020, a track record that speaks to enduring quality rather than momentary success.

Canstar Blue’s awards are based entirely on feedback from real customers who have purchased, used and serviced their systems, making this recognition particularly meaningful in a market increasingly crowded with new entrants.

Over the past six years alone, Solahart has earned eight Canstar Blue Award badges across both Hot Water Systems and Solar Installer categories, reflecting not only product performance, but the brand’s end-to-end approach from tailored system design to installation and ongoing support.

According to Solahart Industries General Manager Stephen Cranch, it’s the people behind the brand who make the difference.

“Our team and dealer network are the heart of Solahart. Their knowledge and passion for helping more Australians make the switch to solar continue to drive our success and distinguish us from the rest of the market. Seventy years on, we wouldn’t be here without the team’s dedication to putting customers first.”

Founded in 1953, Solahart has played a defining role in shaping Australia’s renewable energy landscape, installing more than one million solar water heaters worldwide and over one million solar power panels across Australia.

Today, the brand’s offering extends well beyond traditional solar hot water systems. Solahart’s range includes heat pump water heaters, solar power solutions and battery storage, allowing homeowners to build a flexible, future-ready energy system over time.

Every product is designed and manufactured with Australia’s harsh climate in mind from extreme heat to coastal conditions ensuring durability, efficiency and long-term performance.

As energy prices continue to rise and households look for greater control over their power usage, solar technology has shifted from a lifestyle choice to a practical expectation.

“After a year of significant energy price increases nationwide, renewable solutions give residents an immediate way to reduce grid reliance and take control of rising power costs. It’s no wonder more Australians are seeing the long-term investment potential solar offers,” Mr Cranch says.

Modern solar technology has evolved well beyond bulky or visually intrusive systems. Solahart works closely with builders and designers to ensure solutions are discreetly integrated into the overall architectural intent of a home, maintaining clean rooflines and cohesive aesthetics.

For luxury residences, this means renewable energy solutions that remain largely unseen, yet deliver measurable performance benefits. The result is a home that reflects a commitment to thoughtful design where sustainability, comfort and technology work quietly in the background.

Customers can grow their solar plans, piece by piece, with Solahart to capture and store more energy from the Australian sun, save on their energy bills, actively contribute to a more sustainable future and help stabilise the grid.
