Eco-friendly Energy Solutions

Solar panels or Solar Collectors are the most well known eco-friendly energy option. Their foreseeable payback periods mean that homeowners can now see the cost benefits of solar panel systems far quicker than previously. Solo Heating Installations can install flat solar panels or evacuated tube solar panels including drain back and sealed systems. There are two types of solar panel, flat panel design and evacuated tubes. The evacuated tube solar panels are more efficient but for this efficiency you will pay around 15% more for the collectors themselves. Flat solar panels are often preferred because of their less obtrusive look on your property. The system works on a separate loop connected into a specially designed solar cylinder. This separate loop ensures the antifreeze inside the solar panels does not mix into the general central heating system. Solar panels are very flexible in terms of connection or docking to other heating forms. Popular docking can be made to ground or air source heat pumps, thermal store cylinders and even biomass boilers. Because they are an extra added bonus and are not a primary heating source, they can be added at any time. This means at installation stage of another heat source such as a ground source heat pump, we can put in a solar coil cylinder, with the intention of adding solar panels further down the line.
