Solar Hot Water

HOW IT WORKS

Heat from the sun is transferred into a solar hot water cylinder, heating your hot water, which then goes to your hot water outlets as required.

For domestic situations usually the solar hot water cylinder replaces the existing hot water cylinder.

BENEFITS

A typical household application can generate up to 70% of the annual hot water requirement.

Hot water generated from a Solar Hot Water heating system has minimal CO2 emissions, so will help towards reducing the production of green house gases.

Water is heated by using free energy from the sun rather than a fuel boiler, so fuel bills will also be reduced and your boiler will have less to do.

A Solar Hot Water system will significantly increase the energy efficiency rating of your home. With the introduction of Home Information Packs by the government a Solar Hot Water system will make a positive step towards improving your energy rating.

APPLICATIONS

There are many situations, both domestic and commercial, where Solar Hot Water Heating can be taken advantage of:

HOUSEHOLDS
SCHOOLS
HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS
COMMUNITY CENTRES
HOTELS
OFFICES
APARTMENT BLOCKS
CARE HOMES
HOSPITALS
SWIMMING POOLS

Anywhere that has a demand for hot water could benefit from installing a Solar Hot Water Heating system.
