Solar Hot Water Systems

Reduce your energy bills up to 70% by installing solar hot water system to your home. Solar Hot water systems are the most cost effective solution to installing solar home energy. Given the fact that these Solar Panels work all round in the UK climate conditions, as they produce energy from the suns natural UV Radiation. What the Panel does is heat a chemically bonded coating on glass, either through a flat glazed unit or evacuated or tube, that in turn heats a non toxic fluid. The fluid is pressurised and pumped around a small pipe that carries the fluid into a coil inside a cylinder tank. The system has to be pressurised because of the temperature the sun generates inside a Solar Panel collector.

How Solar Water Heating Works

As the solar panel collects the energy from the sun throughout the day, when most people are at work and not using the water, the how water in your cylinder tank is stored until usage at night time. This is enough to last till the morning. Don’t worry if you use all the hot water as your existing boiler will still have the capacity to heat up the cylinder tank. It works out that during the summer months a solar system will produce 90% to 100% of all your hot water requirements. Considering we use more in the summer months this works out quit efficient. However even in the winter when we don’t have as much direct sunlight, this new generation of solar panels don’t require direct sunlight they operate on UV rays from the sun (normal daylight) which happens all year round.
