Solar Heating

If your current central heating boiler provides a store of hot water in a cylinder ie. a regular or system boiler, a solar water heating system could provide a golden opportunity to 'go green.' Solar Hot Water products work by harnessing freely available energy from the sun. This simple, clean and efficient technology absorbs sunshine and converts it into heat that is pumped directly into your hot water cylinder. Solar Hot Water panels operate on the principle of daylight absorption and don't depend on long spells of unbroken sunshine. A special coating on the absorber ensures that the system performs efficiently - even on cloudy days. The panels harness the power in both direct and diffused sunlight to convert the sun's energy into hot water for your home and are designed to complement existing heating and hot water systems. Used in conjunction with a regular or system boiler,a typical solar hot water heating system could provide around 50-70% of your home's annual domestic hot water requirements in Coleraine - in the summer months this could be as high as 80-90%
