We are increasingly being
told about the climate changes taken place now and predications for the
future of our Planet, in the news and media.
Solar Technology has vastly improved over the
years SedgemoorSolar.co.uk supply greatly improved efficiency Solar panels
for the UK, thus making it a much more viable solution for many of us now.
The
market is increasing as consumers realise it is not that expensive and are
looking at the future Energy price hikes and climate change.
Solar energy is the
cleanest and most inexhaustible of all known energy sources. Solar
radiation is the heat, light and other radiant energy that is emitted from
the sun. The sun's energy, although plentiful, has been hard to directly
harness until recently.
Solar water heater
converts solar energy into thermal energy, then heat the water step by
step. The beauty of this system is it does not create pollution or harmful
emissions, and is extremely economical - the fuel (sunshine) is free!
Plus, they are environmentally friendly.
Until now, solar panels
were not particularly popular in the UK due to their low efficiencies
during the spring, autumn and winter months. Classic solar panels (flat
plate collectors) work equally well as radiators - and therefore unless
ambient temperature is high, heat losses are considerable. Flat plate
collectors, despite their poor performance at UK latitudes, have remained
the panel of choice until NOW! due to their low cost, and DIY-suitability.
However, We are now able to offer much Higher
Efficiency vacuum tube collectors at similar prices to flat plate
collectors if not lower compared to some, and ease of installation.
To take full advantage of these heaters,
you should ideally have an un- shaded, south-facing location (a roof, for
example) on your property, although they can be utilised at West or East
facing roofs by installing one panel on each side also free standing
frames for Flat roofs etc. there are many
configurations we will advise on survey the best options for you. This
type of Solar water heater is now extremely popular in many areas of the
world, and are now becoming much more popular in the UK, due to their high
efficiency.
