Solar Thermal

Solar Hot Water Systems are the UK's fastest growing renewable energy product. They work using the sun’s radiation, not direct sunlight and keep on pumping FREE renewable, eco-friendly energy into your home, even on rainy days! Quickly installed, easy to maintain and it always works - whatever the weather.  A Solar Hot Water System can be fitted to most houses and NO planning permission is usually needed - in fact planners now look favourably on all renewable energy projects.

How it Works: see diagram below

The solar collector absorbs the sun's energy and heats up the special heat transfer fluid. The digital controller senses a temperature difference between the water in the tank and the collector on the roof.

                                                               The pump then circulates the hot transfer fluid around the solar circuit transferring the heat to the tank, and heating up the water inside. When the temperatures start to even out, the pump is turned off and the whole process starts again. This process carries on until the water in the tank reaches a preset temperature. This will result in FREE Hot Water from the taps!
