Solar panels & evacuated tubes installations
A new era in domestic energy generation has begun...
...solar panels and evacuated tubes are a popular way to invest in your home and your energy future - the golden age of cheap energy is over, so reducing dependence on expensive fossil fuels is vital for all households.
Investing in your energy future, while benefiting you today with solar panels and true green energy.
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. This website is designed to educate people on the different solar technologies available for the UK climate.
Why 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 familys 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.
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.

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.
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.
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 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.
The fight for civilisation is won; the challenge of keeping it has just begun!
“In 2004 I first coined this phrase, as a way of explaining to people that the modern world in which we all live is by no means permanent. The achievements which have enabled our modern life had to be fought and died for, but now we are at the pinnacle of our modern civilisation, we [...] [more]The UK is at risk of a energy crisis, engineers warn
The UK’s competitiveness and future security will come under threat if the Government fails to act on energy policy, the Engineering Employers’ Federation (EEF) will warn today. The UK faces an unprecedented combination of energy challenges over the next decade and needs to invest billions of pounds in infrastructure, manage the risks associated with growing [...] [more]Global demand for solar panels is causing UK shortages
The introduction of ‘Feed-in Tariffs’, that pay homeowners for electricity fed into the grid, has led to a rise in demand for solar panels, But householders who have installed the expensive technology are unable to start generating electricity because of a shortage of “inverters”. Solar panel manufacturers say the shortage is a “blip” that will [...] [more]Has BP changed how you think about oil?
The world confronts a stark choice. Consumers can keep making bargains with oil and gas giants, minimizing regulations in exchange for low prices, allowing those who profit from declining fossil fuels to poison oceans and air shared by all. Or consumers can make sacrifices – imposing regulations and carbon taxes, requiring disaster preparation and development [...] [more]5 Good reasons why it’s a good time to install solar panels
With solar panels brought into the public and media spotlight recently, many questions are asked about this green and energy saving technology. 1. One such issue, is pricing and if installations are likely to be reduced over the coming years. This view is supported by other technologies which have come down in price as uptake [...] [more]
