The myth about solar energy.
Many people are under the common misconception that solar energy can only work in conditions of bright sunshine and high temperatures and is unsuited to the British climate.
Solar collectors operate on the principle of light absorption and are not dependant on high temperatures or long spells of unbroken sunshine.
A special coating on the absorber ensures that the system is effective even on cloudy days.
The benefits of installing solar water heating.
Solar Water Heating can supply 50 – 70 % of your hot water you use every year. The excess water left over from domestic use, is used to run your central heating system. Makes your home more attractive to prospective buyers, leaves a legacy for future occupiers. Solar hot water systems provides immediate savings on your fuel bills and major benefits to the environment.
Sustainable energy:
Unlike energy produced by consuming and depleting the earth’s fossil fuels {gas, oil and coal}, solar energy works by harnessing freely available radiation from the sun {which is only half way through its expected 10-bilion year life cycle}.
Environmentally friendly:
Unlike fossil fuels, solar energy produces none of the effects of carbon dioxide emissions or other kinds of environmental damage. Further more all the material used in the making of solar collectors can be fully recycled.
Simple, clean, effective technology:
Solar collectors absorb sunlight and convert it into heat, pumped directly into your hot water cylinder. The small amount of electricity used by the pump is the only running cost!
Proven technology:
Solar collectors are based on technology that has been working successfully in Europe for 20 years.
Very efficient:
Solar glass tubes have exceptional light-transmission values.
Best suited for homes with a southerly facing roof:
Although Solar collectors can be installed in any home. Included is a control panel, which enables you to set the hot water temperature you require with ease.
You're in control:
The solar system is easy to look after it requires minimal maintenance, simply check the controls and fluid during your annual boiler service.
Guarantee:
Providing insulation is by Solar systems UK engineer solar collectors come with a 5 year warranty and a 2 year warranty on other components
