Solar Water Heating Panels
Solar thermal panels or 'solar water heating panels' use the
sun's heat & radiation to heat water. This hot water has a wide
range of uses; from domestic water systems to large scale commercial or
industrial systems.
Even in Northerly climates the amount of energy available from the sun
is surprising. The solar heated water pre-heats the water in the hot
water tank, saving a huge amount of energy - which leads to impressive
financial savings.
Modern solar water heating technologies are enabling very respectable
payback periods, normally ranging between 7 and 14 years, dependent on
situation, and current energy costs. Interestingly, this is a huge
improvement over double glazing which has a payback of longer than 20
years.
As energy costs continue to rise, people are being forced to look
harder at the beautifully simple process of using the sun's energy to
heat water.
At the EDC, we don't supply solar water heating systems. However, the

Association member.
