Why Solar Heating?

House using Solar Power 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.
