Solar thermal technology is the most reliable, efficient and accessible form of renewable energy available today. Installing solar panels can help reduce heating bills by providing up to 70% of a household's domestic hot water requirements per annum. As solar water heating depends on radiation, not direct sunlight, it even works on dull days.
A solar water heating system is a clean and highly efficient means of using renewable energy from the sun to provide hot water. Usually, but not exclusively, roof mounted solar panels will be connected to one of the coils of a twin-coil cylinder using a sealed circuit containing a special glycol/water solution. This fluid not only withstands the high temperatures in excess of 200°C on a summer’s day but also will not freeze down to -25°C. The pump in the system circulates the heated fluid from the solar panel to the cylinder, where the heat is transferred to the stored water.
Solar water heating systems can be used for domestic water heating as well as larger scale applications for business and the community, including swimming pools. Not only do our solar panel systems save you money, they will also reduce your impact on the environment. Grants are available through the Low Carbon Buildings Programme for eco projects, and remember - your local authority may have additional grant funding for solar water heating installations. In addition to this VAT is usually payable at only 5%.
