Solar thermal hot water
- Solar water heating systems, or ‘solar thermal’ systems, use free heat from the sun to warm domestic hot water.
- A conventional boiler or immersion heater can be used to make the water hotter, or to provide hot water when solar energy is unavailable.
- Look at the Energy saving Trust website for basic information and the Centre for Alternative Technology website for more details.
- When you are ready to go ahead look at the MCS website to find an accredited installer.
