Using sustainable energy sources has never been more widely considered and many companies have risen to the challenge of finding ever more efficient ways of heating. Solar panels are becoming more and more popular. Although more suited to new installations, systems are available to retro fit to existing installations and the manufacturers are more than confident that over half a household's hot water requirement can be provided from solar power right through the year, providing cost savings to the end uer as well as reducing their carbon footprint.

We can supply solar heating systems from the following manufacturers:

•  RM Solar
•  Alpha
•  Worcester
•  Vaillant

The RM Solar system will enable you to enjoy litres of free hot water almost every day and will give many years of service free use. It is probably the most environmentally friendly product available for the home and can be installed in order to provide you with free hot water without endangering our precious environment or contributing to global warming.

The panels are mounted on or in the roof and are made from an aluminium manganese one-piece casing, without rivets or screws. The casing is rust proof and the collector is covered with safety galss that is hailstone resistant. Inside the panel is a corrosion resitant absorber plate and a copper heat transfer tube.

The panel contains a specially formulated harmless glycol solution that is within a sealed heat transfer system. The pipework for this system is covered with very tough temperature resistant insulation to prevent heat loss. The heat is carried through this pipework and then pumped through your hot water cylinder to heat up the stored water.
