Solar Thermal

Solar Thermal

We regret to inform you that we are currently not installing new solar thermal systems, but continue to offer a maintenance service where the existing system meets our installation requirements.

Solar Thermal systems provide a clean and efficient means of supplying up to 60%¹ of domestic hot water demand, depending on occupancy levels, roof orientation and final design. The benefits are most evident where the property is not on mains gas.

A Solar Thermal installation should be regarded as a supplementary heating source, not as a boiler replacement. Unlike Solar Photovoltaic systems the energy cannot be exported and storage is a limiting factor in most situations. Consequently solar thermal is typically not suitable for space heating needs.

Tax free income can be earned through the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) scheme for hot water generated by a Solar Thermal system.

Benefits

immediate saving through a reduction in the amount of fossil fuel bought – saving money
improved saving can be achieved for those not on mains gas and those with high hot water demands
future proofing against rising energy prices – by reducing your need to buy fossil fuel
reduce you carbon footprint – through lower dependency on fossil fuel
get paid for generating hot water through the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) Scheme – a tax free income for 20 years with all payments made over a seven year period (Under Government Consultation)
an income indexed to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) – so the value is not eroded over time
