Solar thermal panels will usually provide most of the home's hot water requirements during the summer months and overall, will average at around 50% during the 12 month period.

Solar water heating systems use free heat from the sun to warm domestic hot water via roof mounted solar panels, and a conventional boiler or immersion heater is then used to make the water hotter, or to provide hot water when solar energy is unavailable.

There are commonly two types of solar thermal panels, the flat plate collectors which are commonly seen and evacuated tubes.

Are Solar Panels right for you?

You will need:

• About 5 sq. m of roof which is in direct sunlight for most of the day
• Space for a hot water cylinder fitted with a solar heating coil

If you have a conventional boiler then it should be compatible – if you have a combi boiler and do not have a hot water tank, speak to your proposed installer first.

What if we don’t have a hot summer?

Solar thermal panels are designed to work on a combination of bright sunlight and low level daylight, so it will still be capable of producing solar hot water even during cold winter days.
