Let nature provide your hot water for you!
How does it work
Solar water heating (known as solar thermal) captures the free heat from the sun and
uses it to heat up water for use in the home. It's a simple process:
Panels on your roof absorb heat from the sun - they are known as the collector
The solution in the panels heats up.
This solution is then pumped through a coil in your cylinder
Which transfers the heat to the water in the cylinder
How much hot water will a Solar Thermal Heating system supply?
Whilst this can depend on the size and type of solar panels specified, experience
shows that between 50-70% of your hot water needs will be supplied annually by a
professionally installed system.
Between April and September almost all of your hot water (65C) needs should be
supplied by the system whilst between October and March it will produce water with an
average temperature of 30C which would then be boosted to the required temperature
by your boiler.

Solar PV - How it works
How Solar PV Panels
generate electricity
Solar PV panels work in daylight, not just sunshine!
Solar electricity generation is known as Photovoltaics, or PV for short. Solar panels are
made with layers of specially treated silicon where one side is negative and the other is
positive. Voltage is generated as sunlight (electro magnetic radiation occurring during
daylight hours) hits the silicon in a Photovoltaic cell creating a flow of electrons inside
the cell.
This is converted directly into d.c. (direct current) electricity, which is then fed into an
inverter which converts it to ac (alternating current) electricity that is compatible with
domestic demand.
Solar panels with industry leading performance standards are fitted to your roof or
fascade and linked together, absorbing light and converting it into electricity. Our
solar panels work in daylight, so there is no need to worry about a drop in power in a
temperate climate like the UK's, where sunny days can be few and far between. Unlike
fossil fuels which are slowly dwindling, solar panels will generate trouble free electricity
for years and years and won't contribute to global warming or pollute the environment.

Tips on Choosing the Best Solar Panel Systems for Your Homes
The use of solar panels in homes is increasing every day. The ease of installation, durability, cost effective electricity generation and environmentally friendly power generation are some of the reasons for the huge demand of solar panels among homeowners as well as offices. If you are also impressed with the benefits you get by using solar panels and want to install the panel in your home to generate electricity, then it is advised that you make the right decisions in choosing the best solar panels for your home depending on your needs and budget. The following are the things you need to take into consideration when choosing solar panels for your homes.
Solar Panel System Size
The very first thing that you need to look into before making the splash to buy a solar panel system for your home is the size of the system.
You should first plan for how many solar panels you need to run your home appliances and whether or not these panels can be fitted on your roof or not.
There are solar panel systems that come in different sizes like 2KW, 4KW and even more that offer different outputs from 1500 KWh to 5,000 KWh.
You need to calculate the amount of energy that is needed to run your home appliances and then think of the system that is capable of producing the energy that you need.
Cost
The cost of the solar panel systems is one of the important things to consider and it is the largest deciding factor always. The one thing that you need to remember before going out to shop for solar systems is that the investment is a long term investment and one that will provide you huge savings on your electricity bills in the long run. The cost of the electricity that you buy is always going to increase because of the depleting fossil fuels and coal. Hence, do not buy the solar panel system with just the price factor in mind as it costs high initially and will give you great return of investment in the long run.
What You Will Save?
There is no doubt that you will save a lot by investing on solar panel systems. But, you need to keep an account of the potential savings you can enjoy by installing the system in your home.
The first saving is of course the monetary savings and you can save a lot on your yearly electricity bill when using solar systems to power your home appliances than the traditional electrical power. You can even have a possible calculation on how long it would take for the investment to get paid for itself.
The other important saving that you need to think about is the CO2 savings. You can save as much as 700 kg of CO2 in a year using small solar panel systems.
Conclusion
There is no doubt that investing in a solar panel system is a very good decision you have made as you not only cut on the energy bills, but also reduce the amount of CO2 you send out into the environment.
