Fully Certified Renewable Installer
Providing confidence in home-grown energy
Our custom solar thermal solutions are designed to meet your specific hot water needs. From single panel systems for small homes to megawatt systems for large-scale hot water production, we create systems that fit your unique requirements.
Solar thermal systems provide reliable hot water generation throughout the year, even in the UK’s cloudy climate. During the summer, they can meet up to 100% of your hot water needs, significantly reducing your energy bills. With years of expertise in renewable energy, our team ensures seamless installation and optimal system performance, backed by industry-leading knowledge.
How Solar Thermal Works
Solar thermal systems use specially coated reinforced glass pipes within a solar collector, typically installed on the roof, to absorb solar radiation and heat water. These collectors contain an eco-friendly heat transfer fluid, which circulates through the system, transferring the captured heat to your hot water tank. The system is automated, with a solar thermal controller that activates the pump when the temperature in the collectors rises above that in the storage tank, ensuring efficient and consistent hot water production.
Even in the often cloudy UK climate, solar thermal systems can effectively heat water, making them a viable and sustainable solution. While bright sunlight is ideal, solar collectors work efficiently in diffuse light, providing reliable hot water even on cloudy days. During winter, a boiler or immersion heater can serve as a backup, ensuring your property has ample hot water year-round.
