Solar Hot Water

 

Puglia enjoys an average 300 days of sunshine per year.  In a country strapped for fossil fuels, it is shocking that not every home has solar water heating.  Photovoltaic (electricity creating) solar panels are still prohibitively expensive for most people, but a simple solar water heating system can be installed for a lot less than you may think - and a lot less than you may be quoted by a local supplier.

The evacuated tube systems that we supply are incredibly effective as they convert over 90% of the suns energy into heat.

Like most installations, it is easiest to install solar panels when you are renovating a property, but it is normally also possible to retrofit them, depending on your existing system.

What our customers say...

"when we first had our solar panels installed, we had to cover them over as the water was too hot.  We've had to cover part of the panels through the summer - we've had more hot water than we need.  We'll have free hot water for at least 10 months of the year.  And the investment cost was much less than we had anticipated."
