How does solar technologies benefit you?



What’s so great about solar energy technologies? 


There are two types of solar technologies which can be installed within your home– solar photovoltaic (PV) panels and solar thermal hot water systems. While SOLAR THERMAL panels heat your hot water, SOLAR PV panels will generate electricity for the home and are far and away the most widespread type of renewable technology.




A classic solar PV system for your home will be capable of producing around 40% of the electricity a home will use in a year and save in the region of 20% of a home’s annual carbon footprint. Costs to install the technology have come down considerably over the last twelve months.




Solar thermal panels are available in two ‘types’, flat plate collectors and evacuated tubes. During the warmer summer months solar thermal hot water heating could meet most of your home’s hot water needs, but it will be less during the cold winter season.



Aside from helping to reduce your home’s energy bills and cut your carbon footprint, by installing solar panels you will also be able to benefit financially from Government incentives such as the  FEED-IN TARIFF (solar PV) and the RENEWABLE HEAT INCENTIVE (solar hot water) which were introduced to encourage the uptake of these renewable technologies by paying people to produce their own renewable electricity and heat.







If you are interested in either of the above for your home  call us today on
