Hot Water from Solar Power
Solar water heating systems or Solar Thermal use free heat from the sun to heat domestic hot water. A typical installation for a domestic home would use two Worcester Greenskies solar panels and a 300 litre hot water cylinder to maximise the yield from the sun.
A well-sized solar water heating system could provide up to 60% of your annual hot water requirements.
The Worcester Greenskies solar panels are designed to go with existing heating systems that use a cylinder to store hot water.
What are the advantages of Solar Hot Water over Solar Electricity?
- Solar Hot Water is cheaper to install;
- Solar Hot Water will lower your Gas or Oil consumption;
- Your Central Heating Boiler will run less often which can increase its life;
- You will benefit directly from the hot water you produce;
- Solar How Water occupies much less roof space, usually only 2 panels.
Be aware of 'Free Solar Installation Companies'...
We have been made aware by our customers and our colleagues within the industry about some of the negative aspects of leasing your roof space to some companies. We strongly recommend that customers use a company that they are comfortable with, who ensure that the customer reaps the benefits not only from reduced electricity bills but also from the Government funding. Read our sensible advice.
