The sun provides an abundant, free source of clean energy which can be used to heat 50-60% of your household hot water. Hot water systems will produce some hot water throughout the whole year even in winter, but obviously it is necessary to top up the system so that you can obtain the temperature that you want, when you want it. This is done easily by using your existing hot water system – boiler or immersion – to automatically increase the water temperature to meet your requirements.

Systems can be designed to fit into most existing heating systems, although they are not usually compatible with combination boilers. All that is needed is the space for a suitably sized hot water cylinder and a sufficient area, usually on the roof to fit the panels
