Solar Water Heating Products
Vacuum Tube Solar Water Heating
A vacuum tube collector is installed on the roof of the house and is connected via a pump to a dual coil hot water tank in the airing cupboard.
This solar thermal system can easily be installed in either new build homes, or existing homes, provided the heating system incorporates a hot water tank (either vented or unvented).
The system is not generally suitable for homes with combination boilers and ideally the collector needs to be positioned within 45 degrees of south. It can be mounted on the roof, a purpose built frame, or on the gable end of the building.
Our vacuum tube systems are our most efficient and as a result are a little more expensive than our flat plate systems.
A typical solar hot water system can be designed to meet up to 60% of a home's annual hot water needs and the system only needs daylight (as opposed to direct sunlight) to operate effectively. For more details, please see the information leaflet at the bottom of the page.

Flat Plate Solar Water Heating
Our flat plate systems work in exactly the same way as the vacuum tube systems with the only difference being the design of the collector.
A typical system will meet up to 60% of a home’s annual hot water needs and the system only needs daylight (as opposed to direct sunlight) to operate effectively.
