Press Release Summary: Now, whole country can benefit from affordable,
straightforward, clean, efficient and sustainable energy generated by solar power,
without having to worry about the temperature outside.

Press Release Body: To date the use of simple open-loop solar technology to heat
water in homes, has not only been
expensive, but also limited to the warmer coastal regions of the North Island -
where the air
temperature rarely drops below 3C.
Now thanks to Rinnai's Draining technology the whole country can benefit from
affordable,
straightforward, clean, efficient and sustainable energy generated by solar power,
without
having to worry about the temperature outside.
Tolerant and guaranteed to -15C Draining is a new frost resistant Tank kit that can
be installed
in addition to standard solar panels.
With the Draining system, when the temperature at the hot sensor drops to 4C, the
water from
the panels, and all exposed piping, drains out of the panels. When the temperature
rises above
9C the panels are refilled. When there is a power outage the Draining function is
automatically
activated - a clever and fail-safe feature that ensures panels are protected in
power outages.
The Draining system also doubles as an easy solution for panels which overheat,
ensuring the
temperature of the hot water leaving the collector is less than 110C. (Although
overheating
won't damage panels, the sound of water boiling on the roof can be disconcerting).
Sales and Marketing Manager for Rinnai NZ, David Waters comments; "Incredibly easy
to install
and maintain, the Draining feature really does make solar hot water a simple and
viable option
for all New Zealanders. As a company committed to efficient, sustainable and smart
water
heating solutions we are continuously evolving and improving solar hot water
technology,
introducing new features to make it more affordable and accessible." The new glass
lined
storage tanks for example, are now a much more affordable solar option over our
original
premium stainless steel tanks. In fact the glass lined tanks now make solar so
affordable that it
really has become a very viable option for Kiwi's all over the country."
