SOLAR WATER HEATING SYSTEMS

Solar Energy

Solar energy: the best technology for lowering our carbon footprint. Did you know the earth receives more energy from the sun in one hour than people in the entire world use in a year? So, since other sources of energy we use, like gas and oil are scarce, increasingly expensive and generate CO2, doesn’t it make sense to tap into this limitless, free, clean resource of renewable, sustainable, eco friendly energy?

The World Conservation Union (IUCN), meeting in Bali as part of the UN climate convention meeting, has just announced that SOLAR POWER is the best technology the world has for lowering our carbon footprint. This came from a survey amongst 1,000 professionals in 105 countries to gauge which technologies (amongst, for example, nuclear, wind, solar, etc) inspire most confidence for reducing CO2. The survey included people from governments, NGOs and industry. Solar energy came out as the most favoured low carbon technology.

So, if you are serious about helping the environment – and reducing your fuel costs – a solar installation could be just right for you.

Solar Water Heating Systems

Solar energy: great for the environment – and your pocket too. Do you ever read newspaper articles – and wince at the headlines about climate change? After all what can you do?

Actually, there are quite a few things that really help. To start with you can help not just the environment but your finances – immediately and for good - by using solar energy, one of the best sources of renewable, eco friendly energy. And it is much easier and more affordable than most people think.

Reduce fuel costs: Solar energy gives you 50%-70% of your yearly hot water requirements – free. Just imagine how that could affect your hot water bills! But there is more. Energy Saving Trust research reveals that buyers are willing to pay up to £10,000 more for an environmentally friendly house*. So, not only could you reduce your fuel costs and get a real saving – year after year – you could actually increase the value of your home. In fact, after the initial cost, you never stop reaping the rewards. With all that going for them, no wonder Solar Water Heating Systems are Europe’s fastest growing renewable energy technology.

Unique Points:

Quickly installed, easy to maintain and always works - whatever the weather.
This renewable energy system can be fitted to most houses. No planning permission is usually needed because of a change in planning permission on the 6th of April 2008. And, here’s a surprise: solar water heating works using the sun’s radiation, not sunshine. So it keeps on pumping free renewable, eco friendly energy into your home even on rainy days.
Solar water heating uses one of the best sources of eco friendly energy.
Works in all weather conditions.
Save around 50-70% of your annual cost of providing hot water.
Leave a legacy of free hot water for future owners and add value to your home.
Bronze coloured frame and colour coordinated fixing kit for best aesthetics.
State-of-the-art German engineering, manufactured to stringent European Standards (BS EN 12975).
Advanced multi-function controller lets you monitor how much energy you save.
Virtually no maintenance.

How Solar Water Heating Works

Panels are installed on the roof.
Solar fluid is pumped through copper tubes around the panel.
A high-tech absorber panel captures sun's radiation - no matter the weather - and heats the pipes.
The hot solar fluid is pumped through a coil in the hot water cylinder, heating the water in the bottom of the cylinder.
The solar fluid (now cooler) returns in the pipes back to the panels to get heated up again.

Most Solar Water Heating Systems look similar and it can be hard to spot the difference. But some crucial technical details go to create a superior solar installation. All components are manufactured to stringent European Standards (BS EN 12975) and put through rigorous quality tests. The panels are strong enough to withstand the weight of 6 people… actually you could even drive a car over it without causing any damage.

Attention To Detail

Your home is probably your greatest asset, so it is only natural that you want the absolute best. And this means not just the best products, but the best service. We have always been 100% committed to offering only high quality products, the best possible value, and the best possible service. Seamless service from start to finish - it all starts with listening to you.

The consultant discusses your requirements, clearly explains the options available and helps you understand all the technical details. He or she also carries out a preliminary survey of your house and roof. This will take as long or as little as you like. More to the point, the consultation is just that: an informative discussion.

You are under no obligation whatever to proceed, unless you want to. You have nothing to lose – and something valuable to gain, for whether you buy or not you will be far better informed about the options.

Solar Water Heating Systems Kit

There are three main components in a solar water heating system for domestic applications:

Solar panels that retain heat from the sun's rays and transfer the heat to the water.
Hot water cylinders which store the hot water that is heated by the sun.
The plumbing system which is made up of simple piping and electrical controls, which move the hot water around the system in an energy efficient fashion.

Globe care Improvements, will provide the best system to suit our customer’s needs. The cost of solar thermal systems will vary based on variables like property size and orientation. Return on investment will vary based on the rate of rising conventional fuel costs and how much hot water you use.

Attention To Detail

If you like what you hear and decide to go ahead, we then carry out a full professional survey, to double check all the details. We then also appoint your dedicated project manager, your personal point of contact from then on.

The project manager coordinates the work, ensures everything is done properly and on time and answers any questions you might have. Under his or her supervision our team of expert installers will come and complete your solar installation: quickly, professionally and with minimum disruption.

Our service doesn’t finish with the installation, if you have any questions afterwards, please call us. We’re always happy to help.
