Solar Hot Water (SHW)
What is it?
Solar Hot Water Systems convert heat & light energy from the sun and transfer it to water for use in the home..
How does it work?
SHW systems usually consist of solar panels filled with a special fluid that absorbs heat from sunlight, this is then circulated through a heat exchanger in your hot water cylinder to heat the water that comes out the taps or for central heating systems
Will they work in the UK?
Modern SHW technology is highly efficient at converting sunlight to heat energy, even on a cold day - making it capable of preheating your domestic hot water during the winter, or supplying full temperatures on warmer days.
Will it save me money?
Yes, a properly sized SHW system could provide 70% of your yearly hot water needs. Used in conjunction with a timed boiler or immersion heater it will significantly reduce your gas/electricity bills.
