A practical guide to solar panels...
With current interest rates and unstable utility energy prices, installing solar panels, currently represent one of the best investments, increasing your properties value and reducing your energy bills long term.
" Investing in your energy future while benefiting you today, with solar panels and green energy"
Why families install solar panels?
For some, solar is a statement about your families’ environmental commitments and it encourages others to follow your lead.
Most people install to insulate themselves from the wave of energy price rises due over the coming years. The UK's North Sea gas production provides a diminishing proportion of our energy requirements leaving the UK to rely on imported, unstable and unsustainable Russian gas supplies.
A quality solar heating system will provide up to 70% of your home’s annual hot water or electric requirement, reducing your energy bills and your families’ carbon footprint for 25-30+ years.
Additionally solar panels reduce your carbon footprint, your dependency on fossil fuels and your dependency on utility companies by using a free, natural, renewable resource - solar energy.
Learn about solar heating panels
This technology is known as solar thermal or solar hot water, solar thermal is the most commonly utilised solar technology in households across the UK and Europe.
The solar panels takes over from your boilers job of heating your hot water so you don't use any gas, electricity or oil to heat your water, at night your boiler regains control, during the hours of darkness and low solar radiation.
The solar panels gathers heat which it uses to heat-up a fluid, this fluid circulates through the solar panel and then through some pipes into a heat exchanger within your the hot water cylinder, the solar heat is then transferred to the water inside your hot water cylinder.

Flat plate solar panels
'High quality' glazed flat solar collectors for the UK climate
Our solar heating flat solar panels are made in Switzerland. These premium solar heating glazed flat plate collectors, use green energy from solar radiation to heat your water for washing, bathing, or heating swimming pools using true green energy.
Flat plate solar panels can be mounted on your roof, in your roof, on a Flat Roof, on the ground, on a wall.
Evacuated solar tubes
'High quality' evacuated tubes collectors for the UK climate
Our water heating evacuated solar tubes are made in Switzerland. These premium solar heating solar tubes, use solar radiation (a true green energy source) to heat water and heating swimming pools.
Evacuated solar tubes can be mounted on a southerly roof, on the ground or on a south facing wall too.
PV electric solar panels
A feed-in tariff will pay you to generate your own power
Sell your surplus solar power back to the National Grid and generate your own green energy. PV electric solar panels are known as photovoltaic solar panels work even on cloudy days. PV solar panel systems can produce from 1-5 Kw peak output for domestic installations.
Green energy suppliers and green electricity
Green energy and electricity that won't break the bank
Although solar installations are a great investment nowadays, installing solar can be prohibitively expensive for some home owners. That's why Heat my Home has teamed up with Good Energy to offer those who want to use green energy but may not have deep pockets, to be able to still use green energy or green electricity.
Good Energy is the only 100% green energy suppliers, using only largescale wind turbines, hydro electricity and largescale pv solar to provide green electricity to home owners across the UK.
The one thing depleting faster than oil is the credibility of those measuring it
The challenge of feeding billions of people as fuel supplies fall is staggering. And yet leaders’ heads remain stuck in the sand. I don’t know when global oil supplies will start to decline. I do know that another resource has already peaked and gone into free fall: the credibility of the body that’s meant to assess [...] [more]Why an economic recovery will increase solar panels costs?
As the world economies begin their slow recovery from the credit crunch, what does this mean for a solar panel industry in its infancy? Stuart Lovatt from Heat my Home says, “Over the last 5 years we have seen solar manufacturing and installations costs increase, due to rising cost of energy for manufacture, resources, materials and [...] [more]We are running out of oil, faster than official estimates admit
The world is much closer to running out of oil than official estimates admit, according to a whistleblower at the International Energy Agency who claims it has been deliberately underplaying a looming shortage for fear of triggering panic buying. The senior official claims the US has played an influential role in encouraging the watchdog to underplay [...] [more]The UK is on a brink of energy revolution
The UK is on the brink of an energy revolution. It will transform not only how we heat and light our homes, but also how we live, and even how we think. If you prepare for the energy revolution now, you could make money while saving your conscience and the planet. Last year, the UK government [...] [more]Carbon capture – A green fairytale or greenwash for coal?
UK ministers talk up the carbon capture research programme as if it were already an available technology. But is it greenwash? Or, since we are now in the world of politics, is it green spin? A key test of Brown’s seriousness will be how he treats the coal industry in Britain. And in particular his approach [...] [more]
