Why Solar Heating?
Our
need for energy is rising steadily with our standard of living. Our resources
on earth are becoming increasingly exhausted and we are putting a strain
on our environment. The sun is the energy of the future, assuring a life
on earth for future generations. Daily hot water requirements can correspond
to around 65% of your total water heating consumption when spread over
the whole year. This amount of water amounts to considerable energy and
cost. A sensible use for solar energy is solar heating for your hot water
supply with the help of solar collectors.
Every year in the British Isles over 1000 kWh of energy is received on
each square metre of surface area. An average home requires approximately
300 kWh per year for hot water supply.
