The Chromagen Solar Range: Innovation and Versatility

Chromagen has been a leader in the Australian market since 1962, offering some of the most efficient solar solutions available. Our licensed plumbers and gas fitters are experts in the following Chromagen configurations:

Flat Plate Solar Systems

• SplitLine: A sleek setup with the storage tank (200L–400L) mounted on the ground and collectors on the roof.
• RoofLine: A traditional close-coupled system where both the tank and panels are roof-mounted.
• LowLine: A specialized design where the tank sits discreetly behind or underneath the collectors.
• SmartLine: An all-in-one integrated system featuring a high-efficiency 6-star gas booster.

Evacuated Tube Systems

Perfect for Adelaide’s frost-prone areas or homes with less direct sunlight, these glass tubes trap heat even in overcast conditions. These are typically ground-mounted in a SplitLine configuration for ease of access and structural safety.

Smart Boosting Options

To ensure you never run out of hot water, Chromagen systems can be paired with high-efficiency boosters powered by:

• Natural Gas or LPG (6-star and higher)
• Electric Elements
