The latest quality solar panels for the UK climate
In a nutshell hot water solar panels heat up hot water within your hot water tank, to supply you with constant supply of hot water during the day light hours. In most cases this will allow you to not use your boiler for most of the year, and use it less in the winter.
There are also PV solar panels which generate electricity. Please find and print more comprehensive stuff on our website.
Buying domestic solar
panels can be daunting, with lots of solar technologies available. We only showcase 'evacuated tubes' because they have been proven by the Department of Trade and Industry to be far more efficient and work far more effectively during winter time, than 'flat plate' collectors. Also known as 'thermal solar collectors' this solar technology
type, is divided into 2 types:
The basics - Thermal solar panels

'In-direct' - Traditional style of solar, this heats up anti-freeze
mixture and pushed through heat exchangers.
'Direct' - The latest solar technology advance, this heats the ACTUAL water you use
directly.
Heat my Home recommends 'Direct' water
heating evacuated tubes, because you can use your existing hot
water cylinder tank in most cases, and they are far more efficient.
- 'Direct' solar tubes are the
most 'efficient' and eco friendly in implementation and more aesthetically pleasing on the eye, when in place on the roof.
- 'Direct' solar tubes are less problematic after
installation, and with little or no maintenance needed, you can
simply fit and forget.
- In most cases, evacuated tubes can
provide for a family of 4-5 persons. The tubes heat up the water,
and returns it to your hot water tank. Simple!
- It is a more simplistic system to install which
means more people can DIY it... Learn about DIY Solar Kits >>
Did you know...
1. The UK receives upto 60% solar energy that the equator receives meaning that most homes can successfully use solar panel technology to supplement there energy use.
2. HIPS (Home Imformation Packs) being show solar panels, actually adds value to you property, making them financially viable for the first time.
3. Solar panels and especially evacuated tubes even work well in winter months and even on cloudy days |

Important
The solar industry is fast becoming like the 'double glazing' industry in the 1990's, so please be careful as many of these companies are offering 'free surveys'. In fact all you'll get is a commission based pushy salesmen, and we hear stories of over exaggerated claims about their products.

The basics - PV solar panels

Also known as 'Photovoltaics', electricity can
be produced from daylight through a process called
PV. "Photo" refers to light and "voltaic"
to electricity.
Although a more expensive solar technology, this solar allows for longer term benefits for your domestic home.
- Easily installed onto existing or new build roofing, an on grid connected system will generate electricity or export your surplus out to the national grid and be paid by your existing energy company.
- With a minimum
1kW (peak performance rating) going upto a max of 5kW, this can produce
from 750 kWh - 4500 kWh per year (UK average 4000kWh).
- With no moving parts, this solar lasts many many years, and no maintenance is needed after installation.
- Working with
basic energy saving measures, this type of solar panel will be a smart move over
the coming years, with HIPS assessments, allowing PV solar panels to be a real financial investment opportunity.
- No DIY Kits available.

Did you know...
1. Germany has the great amount of PV solar installation in the world. As you may be aware they have a similar climate to the UK.
2. PV installed in Japan in the 1960's is still going strong today.
3. Once installed with PV solar panels you will have two meter readings, one for 'imported' electricity, and the other will measure 'exported' electricity.
