Hot water solar panels and cylinders
Solar energy is always in the news at the moment as we all search for more sustainable energy sources to heat our homes.
Solar energy has been on the market for many years but only now is coming into its own. People are now realising that it is a viable alternative to traditional heating sources.
Solar energy is captured by using photovoltaic cells which are usually attached to panels connected to the roof of your house. These photovoltaic cells (known as PV cells) convert sunlight into electricity which can then be used to heat and light your home.
With the advent of new technologies you don't need constant sunlight in order for your system to work and so it is a viable alternative for the UK where sunlight is not always at a premium
The advantages of solar energy are: you can cut down on your carbon footprint; cut your electricity bills; sell electricity back to the national grid and even store your own electricity for when you need it.
