How Does it Work?
Solar Collectors can be On Roof systems or In Roof systems.
With a typical active solar heating system layout, an electronic controller constantly compares the temperature of the solar collectors with the temperature of the water in the cylinder.
Whenever the collectors are hotter than the cylinder, the controller activates the systems' circulating pump. A mixture of antifreeze and water is then circulated through the collectors and the cylinders' heat exchanger - thus heating the cylinder in just the same way as a central heating.
Installation is straightforward and usually involves changing the existing cylinder to a new twin coil version, and connecting the solar collectors fitted on the roof. There is little disturbance to the household as most of the work is on the roof and in the hot-press/utility room and is usually completed in 2 days.
A solar system can work in conjunction with virtually all other types of heating systems and requires very little maintenance.
Now turn on the taps and enjoy a well earned hot shower! And remember the hot water in that shower has cost you about 70% less than by traditional heating methods and you're doing your bit to help save the planet.
