solar heating systems

Panels should be sited on a south or south-west facing wall or roof for optimum heat. If you are situated in a non-south or south-west position, we recommend employing two panels to yield good results

Basic Requirements
Our systems are designed to heat water to approximately 65c, although during the winter, it may be necessary to 'top-up' the heat on less sunny days. Larger systems can be set-up to deliver temperatures of 170c or more!

At Ecodream we recommend vacuum tube panels for UK conditions. Vacuum tubes outperform flat panels consistently in any other than hot sunny conditions. They are also very strong, the tubes are made from tough Pyrex glass.

Solar Shine On
The popularity of solar heating is soaring. Currently over 42,000 solar heating systems are in use in homes in the UK.
