One of the most cost-effective ways to include renewable technologies into a building is by incorporating a solar hot water system. These are the most popular systems presently in the UK. Further information:
Benefits of solar hot water systems include:
- A typical solar water-heating system reduces the need for conventional water heating by about two-thirds.
- It minimizes the expense of electricity or fossil fuel to heat the water and reduces the associated environmental impacts. A typical solar hot water system saves about 1 tonne of greenhouse gases per year.
- A solar system prolongs the life of your boiler due to a decrease of operation hours during the year.
