Solar Panels FAQs
When most people think about solar panels, they think about how sunlight is converted into electricity to help power a home. Solar energy can indeed by converted into electricity. It is an effective and renewable means to harness power.
But did you know that solar energy can also be used to heat your home and water? A solar water heating system can be fitted to a roof in order to collect heat from the sun. This collected energy can then be used to heat up water for you to use.
Solar energy is a renewable source and unlike many other energy sources, we cannot run out of it.
As some of your heating requirements will be met through solar energy, you can expect a reduction in the cost of your heating bill. You will also be reducing your carbon footprint.
Solar water heating systems can provide you with hot water throughout the year. During colder months you will need to use this system in conjunction with a boiler to further heat the water.
You will be charged for material costs and labour. Associated costs can be found on our pricing page. We can give you a full quote after the work you require has been properly evaluated and costs have been calculated.
In the long run, a solar water heating system will help to save you money on your energy bills. Harnessing solar energy will help to offset some of the costs associated with your heating bills.
Solar collectors work best tilted at an angle of 20 -50 degrees and facing anywhere between south-east and south-west. East and west facing collectors can still be effective but may need to be adjusted. When we come to visit you in person, we will let you know if your home is suitable for solar panels.
As a general rule, you’ll require approximately 1 square meter of solar panels or tubes per person in the household. This should be enough to provide you with sufficient levels of hot water.
Providing that they are of a certain size, most solar water heating systems do not require planning permission. You should always check with your local planning officer first though.
Our payment terms are as follows. 10% upon order of service, 40% upon commencement and 50% upon completion.
