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.

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 providers, schemes and tariffs
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 schemes and green tariffs.
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.
Why the UK needs solar panels by Jeremy Leggett
I wish to make nine points in my response to George Monbiot’s latest round in our disagreement about the importance of solar photovoltaics (PV) and the UK government’s upcoming feed-in tariffs. 1. Monbiot argues that “either solar photovoltaic (PV) power in the United Kingdom is, as (Leggett) claims, a cheap, efficient technology, or it isn’t. [...] [more]Solar panels are not fashion accessories
George Monbiot’s attack on solar energy and the government’s “cash-back” solar photovoltaic (PV) market-building scheme paints a distorted picture of the industry I work in, and government policy towards it (Are we really going to let ourselves be duped into this solar panel rip-off?, 2 March). First, Monbiot gets the workability of solar wrong. He says: [...] [more]Green loan energy plan for solar panels
Plans to encourage householders to make their homes much warmer and cheaper to run have been announced by ministers. The scheme, which would see loans remain attached to the house where insulation, and solar panels, aims to overcome the financial barriers and upfront costs people face when trying make their homes greener. Consumers will be offered [...] [more]North Sea oil exploration costs increasing
The UK’s offshore oil and gas fields could still be delivering 1.5m barrels a day by 2020, enough to satisfy 35% of UK energy demand, according to industry trade body Oil & Gas UK – but only if high fuel prices and tax breaks combine to make viable a growing backlog of exploration and development [...] [more]Solar panels are coming to a street near you?
Solar panels have always been a symbol of the environmental movement in previous years, but more recently solar technology has become a symbol of energy efficiency and conservation instead. Stuart Lovatt from Heat my Home explains, “Since I started in the solar panel industry in 2004, the only people to install this technology were die hard [...] [more]
