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.

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.

Frequently asked questions about solar panels...

Investing in solar energy?

Solar panels come in 2 different types. Solar heating panels generating heat for your home or PV solar panels which generates clean electricity using solar energy. Which is best for you, will depend on your existing energy usage and existing set up of your home. A site survey will enable you to discuss your options.

Can solar panels run my central heating?

Maybe, this depends on the type of set up you install. We would need to survey your home to see if our heating management system is suitable. In most cases then solar heating can contribute to your central heating, but not all solar installation companies offer this technology.

Is my roof suitable for solar panels?

This will be determined at the solar survey stage. Anything between south west and south east is very good, east and west facing roofs should not be discounted either.

If you do not have a suitable roof, you should consider canopy, facade or 'A' frame installations.

There are lots of solar panels companies, which is the best?

In a 2001 DTI report, solar heating systems were tested and not all solar panels were found to be equal. Solartwin for example was the worse performing system by a very big margin and evacuated tubes were singled out as the best performing solar systems.

Unfortunately, some solar companies quote unrealistic prices, give big false discounts and supply inferior products which don't meet UK and EU standards and this is not on!
