Solar Thermal

Solar water heating systems use solar panels, called Solar collectors, fitted to your roof. These Solar Panels collect solar heat from the sun and use it to warm water which is stored in a hot water cylinder.Devon and Somerset Solar hot water heating

Eco-Exmoor have been fitting high quality Solar Thermal systems in Devon and Somerset since since 2003 and were the first company in the UK to install a solar water system under the Clear Skies grant scheme..

This proven Solar technology can provide up to 70% of your annual hot water demands.

In the right situation solar thermal panels can also be used to contribute to space heating.

On sunny days, temperatures of 70 to 90 degrees are common.

Even on cloudy days in winter some hot water will be produced as the system utilises energy from diffuse light.

In winter the solar system will pre-heat the water in your cylinder, meaning the solar system will make meaningful reductions to your gas, oil or electricity consumption throughout the year.

Also, as solar hot water systems are designed to store larger amounts of hot water than conventional systems, a correctly sized solar system will have hot water left over from the previous day.

If you have a few cloudy days in a row the thermostat will turn the booster on to bring the water up to temperature.

Solar thermal Systems life expectancies can exceed 30 years.

 

A Solar Thermal system from Eco-Exmoor requires almost zero maintenance, most solar systems are designed to be self cleaning. The Solar system should be checked every 4 years to ensure the anti freeze is still active.
