Solar thermal Installations
Hot water for your home generated by the Sun
What is Solar Thermal?
There are three conventional ways to generate hot water for your home:
- With a hot water storage cylinder and an electrical immersion heater (like a kettle).
- With a hot water storage cylinder heated by your gas boiler.
- With a gas or electric combination boiler - no stored hot water, the unit turns on when you open a hot tap.
With options 1 and 2 above, you can add a solar thermal installation.
Solar panels are installed on your roof which when heated by the suns energy, transfer that heat into your stored hot water.
The benefit of this additional method of heating your hot water is that during daylight (even with cloud cover to a small degree) your hot water is heated for free.
The benefits of choosing Solar Thermal for your Hot Water?
On clear days with little cloud cover, even during the winter, a solar thermal installation can heat up your stored water without having to use your immersion heater or gas boiler.
In fact during the Summer, Solar Thermal can provide up to 100% of your hot water needs.
This brings an immediate saving on your fuel bills which, within a few years, can cover the cost of installing the solar panels and cylinder.
