Solar Panels

Renewable Heat Source - 75% of your Hot Water FREE

Research has shown that SWH can provide 70% of your hot water requirements averaged over a yearly period.

Solar Water Heating (SWH) is a system for heating water using energy from the sun. Solar energy is collected by a panel, which is connected by pipes to a hot water storage device such as a hot water cylinder.

SWH depends on radiation not direct sunlight so it works even on dull days. However, in winter, although a panel can be effective in helping warm your water, you will still need your existing hot water heater (Boiler/Heat pump/Immersion) to provide most of your water heating needs.

However, in the Spring, Summer and Autumn, a solar panel can yield fantastic results, often not requiring any support from your boiler. Depending upon your system and how and when you use your hot water, you could find that the majority of your needs are met by a SWH panel at these times of the year.
