Our solar hot water systems are designed to offer the maximum benefit from the sun whilst being realistically priced. the solar option isn't designed to replace you central heating boiler, rather compliment it and save you considerable gas/electrical costs over the year.
A typical system fitted to a 3 bedroom house can see your bills reduce by up to 50%
A twin panel system can be fitted to a house that has no south facing roof enabling you to collect energy from the east in the morning and the west in the afternoon.

Evacuated Tube & Flat Plate collectors
  We use a select group of manufacturers for our collectors and specify which at time of quoting (to ensure you get the most suitable)
Fully insulated corrugated solar tubing
Resol pump stations and controllers (market leader in solar controls)
Plate to Plate heat exchangers (to allow heat input into heating circuit)
A frames (for flat roof instalations)
Vented and Unvented twin coil cylinders (various manufacturers available)

Q. What savings can I expect from a typical set up?.
A. The savings will vary throughout the year, but in a normal location the panel will heat most of the year from 10% in the winter up to 100% in the summer, on the south coast we would expect the
  panel to raise the water temperature above 40 degrees daily from April to October (very overcast days will affect this)

Q. Can i use my existing boiler/cylinder?
A. Most boilers can be aligned with the solar system and are unlikely to need changing,
  cylinders will need to be twin coil versions (1 coil for heat from boiler and 1 coil from solar panel/s)

Q. Will it pay for itself?
A. It is likely to take around 8 - 10 years to recover the installation and maintenance costs although with rising fossil fuel costs (gas / electric) this is likely to reduce

Q. What are the annual costs?
A. Currently around £80 a year. this covers a 2 yearly service plus a change of chemicals every 5 years

Q. Are the parts reliable?
A. Yes, We only use specific Solar Rated equipment, some installers use domestic heating circulator pumps these are prone to failure caused by overheating, We used proprietory insulated tube from the collectoor to the pump station and Copper tube in the pump station to cylinder section (again fully insulated)
