Why Install Thermal Solar?

Renewable energy solutions like solar thermal are not only environmentally friendly but also incredibly efficient. These systems work by capturing sunlight through roof-mounted solar collectors, which then transfer the heat to your water supply. This process significantly reduces the need for gas or electric heating, helping you cut down on energy consumption while minimising your carbon footprint.

A solar thermal system for the home is usually made up of  2-3 panels mounted on your roof. The system absorbs the heat from the sun and uses it to heat water which is then stored in your hot water cylinder. The technology has been around a long time, so why not benefit from:

  • Free Hot Water:
    From Spring through to Autumn, the majority of your hot water will be heated for free! 
  • Lower Carbon Emissions:
    The average household could save in the region of 400kg of carbon per year by having solar thermal installed.
  • Great Heating System Partner:
    If you don’t have a larger roof area suitable for solar PV panels, solar thermal hot water panels are a  great way to complement your heating system, whether that be a heat pump, oil or gas boiler.  Just a small area of preferably south facing roof required.
  • Hassle Free Maintenance and a Long Life Span:
    Almost fit and forget, with regular servicing this system could easily last 20 years or more.
