The Solar Water Heater’s Italian Makeover: A Revolutionary Shift in Perceptions

In the past, with limited renewable energy options and little differentiation between products, consumers tended to opt for cheaper choices to save on electricity costs. However, this decision often came with risks, including rapid loss of efficiency, frequent breakdowns, high wear and tear, and subpar manufacturing materials.

Today, consumers can rethink their choices with the emergence of quality products, notably the Ariston brand from Italy.

A Reputable Brand Guarantees Superior Quality

A common misconception about solar energy products is that all options are “the same” because customers are primarily interested in saving electricity. However, as the market develops dynamically and consumer needs evolve, solar water heaters also become more diverse. Choosing a product that suits your needs and ensures long-lasting quality is essential, and Ariston stands out in this regard. As a global brand for heating and energy solutions, Ariston has maintained a dominant market share for over 90 years. The group is a pioneer in brand building and developing heating solutions from Italy, trusted in more than 160 countries.

In the solar energy sector, Ariston is a leading manufacturer of solar collectors in Italy and owns ELCO, a renowned company in the heating industry in Northwest Europe.

In Vietnam, Ariston is recognized as the best-selling water heater brand in the market, according to the GFK Vietnam consumer survey, and has achieved numerous remarkable milestones.

Ariston won the “Most Favorite Water Heater Brand” award, voted by Tinhte in 2023.

Durable Solutions Overcome Concerns of “Prone to Breakdowns” and “Difficult to Maintain”

When considering solar energy systems, buyers often worry about frequent maintenance costs as the equipment is exposed to various weather conditions, which can lead to reduced efficiency or malfunctions. Ariston addresses this concern by offering solutions with superior durability, backed by dozens of rigorous research and testing centers worldwide. Among them, Serra De’ Conti, the group’s Research & Development center for all Ariston factories, is a leading entity in Europe.

Through extensive research, Ariston introduces exclusive technologies that ensure stable operation even in Vietnam’s harsh weather conditions. These include weld-free tanks, using a lap joint technology that minimizes corrosion in tubular solar systems, and tempered glass heat collectors in flat-plate systems that can withstand weights of up to 122kg/m2, winds of 130km/h, and super-durable mounting frames made of corrosion-resistant materials such as aluminum alloys or magnesium-coated steel.

A Rare Renewable Energy Solution that Maintains Efficiency and Aesthetics

“Many customers who come to us believe that using solar energy systems involves a trade-off between comfort and aesthetics to gain electricity savings,” says Mr. Nguyen Cao Tri, General Director of Ariston Vietnam. “But with our mission of ‘cozy and sustainable homes for the future,’ Ariston creates solutions that harmonize convenience and sustainability.”

This is evident in innovations such as the three-layer vacuum tube system, which maximizes heat absorption, and the high-pressure flat-plate collectors that allow the use of pressure pumps with the system. You can enjoy a stable water flow without worrying about high pressure breaking the tubes.

The concern of not having hot water during periods of insufficient sunlight, especially in areas with unique weather conditions, is addressed by the high-density HDI insulation technology, which keeps water hot for up to 72 hours.

Ariston’s flat-plate solar water heaters meet the demands of efficiency and aesthetics for modern homes.
