Chromagen - Solar and hotwater solutions
Chromagen produces a wide range of solar systems providing clean, dependable solutions for your water-heating and electricity needs.
Chromagen's philosophy is simple, meeting today's needs while keeping tomorrows in mind.
Founded in 1962, Chromagen is a major international player in the field of alternative energy, harnessing the sun's unlimited energy for the purpose of heating water, Chromagen is known for its ability to provide cost-effective and environmentally friendly solutions to energy requirements.
To soak up as much free solar energy as possible in countries like Europe and North America where sunshine isn't so plentiful, Chromagen engineers developed state-of-the-art systems creating solar panels utilising an all-copper design. Copper fins ultrasonically welded to copper tubes provide maximum contact and excellent heat transfer resulting in a very highly efficient absorption rate of 95%. All copper construction means longer life and is far superior to aluminum and steel used by some other manufacturers. Chromagen customers not only save the more in the long run, they also get the highest government rebates.
Solar government rebates are available to those who are install an environmentally friendly solar hot water system or solar electricity system. The Australian Government have thousands of dollars available to home owners who replace their current inefficient hot water system with a solar hot water system. Government rebates do not always last long, so express your interest with Chromagen today.
Additionally Chromagen's solar glass is patterned to reduce reflection and maximise solar transmittance to the absorber plate. It is tempered and thicker than others to maximise strength and durability in severe weather conditions like hail storms.
Solar Hot Water
People who install new solar hot water systems, or convert their existing tanks to solar, not only save hundreds of dollars in energy costs, they also cut their greenhouse emissions by up to 3 to 4 tonnes a year. This is the same as taking a small family car off the road! AND with a continuous flow hot water gas or electric backup, working with the suns unlimited free energy, never run out of hot water again. With 7 years limited warranty Chromagen offers the highest quality solar hot water products in today's market, at a great price.
Chromagen's Solar Smart intelligent solar/gas design maximizes your solar savings by storing your solar heated water in an insulated solar rated storage tank. This ‘pre heated' water is then passed directly through the Chromagen 5 Star rated Eternity series continuous flow gas water heater, which senses the incoming water temperature and adjusts the amount of gas used depending on how hot the incoming water is. The hotter the solar heated water - the less gas you use, ensuring you have never ending hot water 24 hours a day, 7 days, as a cost that can be up to 80% lower than your current water heating bills. more info
Chromagen have both Forced Circulation Systems and Thermosiphon systems. Thermosiphon systems call on Mother Nature to circulate water through the solar collectors to the storage tank using the thermosiphon principle that hot water rises naturally, hence eliminating the need for circulating pumps or other moving parts.
Solar Electricity PV
Enough sunlight falls on the earth every minute to meet the world's energy demands for an entire year. Now that's amazing. Utilize the energy form the sun with Chromagens Photovoltaic systems.
Solar Electric panels generate electricity using the photovoltaic (PV) effect. The solar panels are fitted to your roof and convert light into electricity. This electricity is fed through an inverter directly to the house or through a meter directly into the grid. Further panels can be added later.
When you are using little or no electricity, your solar system feeds electricity back into the grid and If you consistently generate more electricity than you use, the electricity company will pay you for that power. In effect, your home becomes a mini power station generating electricity and selling it to the grid for use by you or your neighbours....more info
Chromagen's SUMO commercial range has been designed and constructed utilising over 25 years experience and knowledge in the Australian commercial market, this experience together with some of the most efficient continuous flow hot waters heaters and thermally efficient storage tanks in the world today, combine to form a hot water delivery system of SUMO proportions. From a sports club, caravan park, or hairdressers with a couple of showers or hand basins, right up to a multi-storey apartment building, nursing homes, hospitals, hotels or motels SUMO commercial have a system to suit....more info
