Q. Will my Solar Water Heating system work all year round and in the British climate?
A. SunMaster’s solar water heating system is designed to work all year round and is ideal for the British climate. In fact, it is a common misconception the UK does not receive enough sunlight. However, our system depends upon light absorption and NOT heat meaning that there is more than enough light in the UK for SunMaster’s system to provide up to 70% of your hot water on average throughout the year.
Q. Do I need Planning Permission?
A. Usually Planning Permission is not required unless you live in a conservation area or an area of outstanding natural beauty where permission may be necessary. Either way as part of our home survey we will contact the necessary authorities on your behalf.
Q. How about listed buildings?
A. We do install solar water heating systems on listed buildings. However, planning consent is required from the local authorities and we are happy to apply for you.
Q. What are the main components of a Solar Water Heating System?
A. There are three main components that make up a solar water heating system, the Collectors, the Cylinder and the Controller. The Collectors take energy from daylight sources and then heat the 'heat medium' in the Collector which is transferred to a specifically designed solar coil in the Cylinder, the Controller then regulates the flow and temperature of water.
Q. How much does it cost?
A. All systems are individually designed to suit each household's requirements. The price depends on many aspects such as the number of users, hot water usage, orientation and latitude of the property.
