Why Use Solar Heating?
Help save the Planet - using the Sun's energy cuts the consumption of conventional fuel and helps to reduce the emission of harmful greenhouse gases.
Can anyone have Solar Panels?
Yes - ideally they will be fitted on a South facing roof, but they can also be fitted on a wall. No planning permission is required.
Today's products work very effectively in the UK and can provide a large proportion of your hot water.
How do Solar Panels heat my water?
Solar panels absorb energy from the Sun
(even when it isn't very sunny).
The solar panel installation uses a heat transfer system to heat your water and a hot water cylinder to store the heated water.
Types of solar collectors
Evacuated tube collectors
A row of glass tubes, each containing an absorber plate.
Flat plate collectors
Consisting of an absorbing plate with a transparent cover, to collect the sun's heat
