Solar Thermal Systems
Solar power can heat your supply of water, using a solar
cylinder and heat-exchanger, reducing reliance upon an electric or
gas boiler. A 'solar fluid' is circulated through a closed circuit
of pipes in the panels, accumulating solar heat which is then
transferred into a hot-water tank. Just as the inside of a
conservatory can quickly feel extremely hot even on a cold day,
solar thermal systems do not rely on ambient warmth to accumulate
heat. The systems are easy to install and maintain, and reduce
carbon dioxide emissions by up to 400Kg per home, per annum.
