What Is Solar Thermal?Solar Thermal

Solar Thermal (solar hot water) panels simply convert sunlight into heat. Typically, if you have a south facing roof, only one panel is required to be fitted but the system should be sized according to the volume of water you want to heat. In most cases a Solar Hot Water panel will become your primary means for water heating. This will decrease dependency on your gas or electric boiler, thus cutting usage and bills from the utility companies, which we all know are rising all the time.


Do not be put off if you have an unconventional or complicated existing hot water system. Solar hot water can be fitted and applied to virtually any circumstances. The Greener Group heating and plumbing engineers has the equipment and expertise to assess and advise nearly any hot water heating situation.

If you have any questions about how a solar thermal system could work with your existing heating system or would like any further information please contact us. We have an experienced team in our Chester office that would be happy to help.
