Solar Power is a clean and highly efficient means of using renewable energy from the sun to provide the hot water used in the home. Usually roof mounted solar panels are connected to a twin-coil hot water cylinder using a sealed circuit containing a special glycol/water solution. A pump circulates the heated fluid from the panel to the cylinder where the heat is transferred to the water in your water cylinder.

Solar power is the most reliable, efficient and accessible form of renewable energy available today and can be combined with a high-efficiency condensing boiler, annual fuel bills can be dramatically reduced.

Positioning of the solar panels is important to increase the efficiency of the installations and we would recommend that you only install panels on south facing aspects. If your roof or area that you are considering is heavily shaded by trees or an adjoining building then the effectiveness of the solar panels will be greatly reduced.

This diagram shows how solar power panels would be integrated into a household or office heating system.

The below diagram shows the typical construction of on of the solar panels that we install - note that each panel is self cleaning so there is very little maintenance involved once installed.

We work with our partners Grant UK Ltd on all solar power installations.
