Solar Thermal Systems
Solar Thermal systems are amongst the most efficient of all the technolgies. At the moment we are restricted to heating bathing water indirectly through a heat exchanger system utilising another heat source mechanism as a back up. We normally install such systems when we upgrade an old boiler with say a heat source heat pump or biomass plant. As a addition to an existing system they can be relatively expensive. That said, The government's RHI scheme is designed to help consumers recover the cost of the capital outlay over a 7 year period.

How does Solar Thermal Work?
- Cold water enters the system from mains supply
- If the collector is warm enough the pump will be activated by the Solar Controller
- Solar fluid is then pumped round the collector, heated by solar energy
- This fluid then passes in to a cylinder heating up the water via a coil
- If required a second coil brings up the water to the pre-set temperature via an existing boiler
- Hot water is now available through the taps
