Solar Water Heating (SWH) Systems

Our efficient modern solar water heating systems utilize the latest evacuated tube & heat-pipe technology to make them extremely efficient.  They can convert 60% of the solar energy that falls on them into useful heat energy.  They can operate in temperatures as cold as -60°C enabling them to contribute to water heating throughout the UK winter.  There is no risk of frost damage and they are durable, and resistant to hail.  A study by the Energy Savings Trust found that in the 88 properties that they trialled, well-installed and properly used systems could provide around 60% of a household's hot water over a year. This rises considerably during the summer. For examples of performance please click here.

Our complete solar water systems include solar collector(s), separate twin-coil water tank (enabling connection to solar panels and conventional boiler),  intelligent controller and pump-station.  The panel frame and manifold are made of powder coated (anodised) aluminium thus giving our panels excellent corrosion resistance and a high quality finish.  The roof fixings are stainless steel.  All kits come with detailed instructions for installation and commissioning, and this is within the capabilities of most DIYers.

As a rule of thumb hot water consumption of 50 litres per person per day is usually sufficient.
