Solar thermal – An introduction

Solar water heating is the most effective form of renewable energy you can buy.

• It typically provides 60-70% of your annual hot water needs and cuts your CO2 emissions by over 2/3 tonne a year.

• Now with long-term financial support from the Government's Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) pay-back times are even shorter.

• Our collectors are manufactured in Germany to the highest standards, and our expert staff deliver quick, professional installations.

We offer 3 types of collectors, which differ in appearance but not in significantly in performance:

 

 

Please see our detailed pages on flat plate collectors and evacuated tube collectors.

Our prices include everything you need: solar panels, replacement hot water cylinder (including a new 3kW immersion heater as standard), electronic control system with temperature display, and installation. See our indicative price list.

Most domestic solar installations require us to replace the existing hot water cylinder with a new twin-coil solar cylinder. Existing cylinders are normally too small for effective solar performance, and therefore unsuitable even if a solar coil is retro-fitted.
