Renewable Technology

Yes: Solar collectors work on daylight as well as sunlight with Solar systems providing energy/ hot water during cloudy or overcast days, but would require a back up from another energy source such as a gas/oil boiler, immersions or another renewable energy source.

To get the best efficiency and make use of the solar gain created form the solar collectors in most cases a dedicated solar or new cylinder is required. But this is an ideal opportunity to overview your hot water system, and look at an unvented hot water system – (see hot water page).

This is often talked about, and sometimes difficult to equate, given the installation cost, rebates – incentives and efficiency of the system based on the panels orientation and the fuel type that has been replaced oil, gas etc. Typically this period could be from 6 – 15 years. A better way to look at things would be as an investment compared to say putting that money into shares or a bank, considered a riskier move by some, given that solar energy is free and will here for a long, long time.

Generally our systems require minimal maintenance and when we annually service your heating equipment we can look at the solar system and its efficiency often avoiding any potential issues that may arise.
