Domestic Solar Water Heating

Solar water heating is becoming increasingly popular and is a relatively inexpensive way of using solar energy.

The technology is proven and both flat plate solar panels and evacuated tubes have been in wide use throught Europe for many years. The UK is someway behind but is starting to catch up, solar panels are increasingly in evidence on the South facing rooflines of many houses.

Our basic 'solar' system comes to £1,700! With the addition of a hot water cylinder and panel to cylinder pipes comes to approx £2,300.

True Energy supply the Sammler solar water heating system, this can be supplied as a kit of parts or installed.

In kit form we supply the 'solar' parts of the system. In addition we offer a matched hot water cylinder and 10M flexipipe system as optional extras. You or your plumber might have a preferred supplier for this part of the system.

We are normally able to supply an inclusive fitting service, the complete installation starting at £2,995 inclusive of VAT!

See our eshop for all prices, parts and further information.

Be Careful what you buy and who you buy from.

Solar hot water systems should cost in the region of £3,000 to £4,000 installed, of course there are exceptions but if you live in a relatively normal house and need a fairly standard system that will satisfy the practical needs of a normal family, that's what you should pay!

Always get a number of quotes!

There are a number of companies that are using a hard sell technique selling Solar Heating installations for £5,000, £6,000 and more, invariably for the same systems that can be purchased for almost half the amount quoted.

Solar panels are not suited to space heating.

Though there is at least one company promoting solar panels for space heating this is little more than a scam! See Passive Solar Heating for a view of the use of solar energy and space heating

Tthe only practical form of solar panel to use for space heating is a velux window!

Solar Panels for space heating, okay if you have a superinsulated house with effectively zero heat loss, there might well be two in the country, but if you have gotto that point, you won't be talking to that kind of 'snake oil' salesman!
