Renewable
Installation - Green Energy!
PlumbFix plumbing offer a wide range renewable installation of
which you can use to heat water and heating for your home by
using energy from the sun. Solar water heating systems use
heat from the sun to warm domestic hot water. A conventional
boiler or immersion heater is then used to make the water
hotter, or to provide hot water when solar energy is
unobtainable.
How do they work?
Solar water heating systems use solar panels known in the
industry as ‘collectors’. These collectors are fitted to the
roof of the house. These collect heat from the sun and use it
to warm water which is stored in a hot water cylinder.
Basically there are two main types of collectors:
1.Flat plate systems - which are made up of an absorber plate
with a transparent cover to collect the sun´s heat. These can
be fixed to the roof tiles or integrated into the roof.
2. Evacuated tube systems - which are made up of a row of
glass tubes that each contain an absorber plate feeding into a
manifold which transports the heated fluid.
Heat Water
Having a boiler or immersion heater can be used to increase
the temperature of the water further to reach the temperature
set by the cylinders thermostat when the solar water heating
system does not reach that temperature.
Heat the Home
If larger solar panels are installed in your home it can also
provide energy to heat your home as well in a similar fashion
to heating the water. Although you will need a great amount of
sun to heat the home in this way outside of the summer months.
Advantages of Solar Water Heating
Hot water throughout the year: the system works all year
round, though you'll need to heat the water further with a
boiler or immersion heater during the winter months.
Costs for a typical solar water heating system range from
£3,000 to £5,000.
Savings - It will save up to 580kg of CO2 emissions, depending
on what fuel you will be replacing. Also solar water heating
system can provide about a third of your hot water needs,
reducing your water heating bill by between £50 and £85 per
year.
Maintenance costs are very low. Most solar water heating
systems come with a 5-10 year warranty and require little
maintenance. You should take a look at your panels every year
and have them checked more thoroughly by an accredited
installer every 3-5 years, or as specified by your installer.
PlumbFix Plumbing has Worcester Bosch and Ecodan Solar Panel
accredited installers.
