Solar Thermal

Solar thermal systems use energy from the sun to warm water for storage in a hot water cylinder or thermal store. Because the amount of available solar energy varies throughout the year, a solar water heating system won’t provide 100% of your hot water; a conventional boiler or immersion heater is normally used to make up the difference, but this is still more cost-effective than relying on a boiler or heater alone.

How do solar hot water heating systems work?

Solar water heating systems use panels or tubes, called solar collectors, to gather solar energy. These solar thermal panels and tubes convert the infra-red portion of visible light into heat. They are filled with a mix of water and glycol. This fluid is pumped round a circuit, which passes through the hot water cylinder.

There are two types of solar powered heater collectors: Evacuated tubes – a bank of glass tubes mounted on the roof tiles & Flat plate collectors – fixed on the roof tiles or integrated into the roof.

What are the benefits of a solar heater for your home?

Solar Thermal panels have become increasingly popular in the last few years as the price has come down due to efficiencies in production, and there is plenty opportunity to save money on your energy bills. Many households have benefited from this cost effective and environmentally friendly technology, which include:

The solar thermal energy system works all year round, although you’ll need to heat the water further during the winter months with an additional form of heating.
