Save money and reduce your impact on the environment with Solar Thermal

Solar thermal heating systems are one of the most cost effective and environmentally friendly renewable energy resources available making it the most popular form of solar energy used in the UK.

We offer a wide range of collectors to suit all roofs and property types.

How it works?

A solar thermal hot water system heats water for domestic use by harnessing the infrared energy present in daylight. This abundant source of free energy quickly heats up fluid in a solar panel (also called a solar collector). A small pump circulates this fluid through a coil in the hot water cylinder and heats up the water. During the winter months there is not enough energy available to fully heat the water so the existing heat source (boiler or immersion heater) automatically tops up the stored water temperature.

A properly sized solar thermal system can provide almost all of the hot water in the summer months and a useful contribution throughout the rest of the year. Over the course of a year, a solar thermal system typically provides between half and two thirds of the energy required to heat the hot water. A solar thermal hot water system is the most cost effective renewable energy technology and can be installed in the majority of domestic dwellings in the UK.
