Certificate counts are computed from the model's registered performance data using the current regulated equations. A lodged claim depends on the specific installation, household size, and the scheme rules in force at creation. Energy savings % is against the AS/NZS 4234:2021 reference electric storage water heater for that zone and load size, calculated from the model's registered performance data, or taken directly from the register where it publishes a savings figure. VEU registers this data at the small load (the step-down load for a medium-rated system) and ESS at the medium load, so the two schemes' figures differ for the same zone.
The Solahart Atmos Eco 280HER is an all-in-one air-sourced heat pump water heater for 6-person households, with a 280 L cylinder and wrap-around microchannel heat exchange technology for uniform, faster heating. It uses R290 (propane) refrigerant, operates from -6 to 43 degrees C ambient, and delivers an average COP of 5.2 measured to AS/NZS 5125 (19 degrees C ambient, water heated 10 to 60 degrees C).
A 2.4 kW electric element handles backup boosting. The cylinder carries a 10-year warranty (3 years labour), with 3 years on the sealed refrigeration system and 1 year on other parts.
