There are two types of panel - Flat Plates and Heat Tubes which can be attached to the roof or suitable other location, such as a garden or side wall.
Energy from the sun is transferred to a heat transfer fluid which in turn warms domestic water via a coil in the hot water storage cylinder. The system can produce up to 70% of a household’s domestic hot water requirement.

Photovoltaic
Solar PV panels convert the sun’s
energy into electricity which can then
be used in the domestic system either
directly or can be stored in batteries
for later use. It is possible for the
energy produced to be sold back to
the grid. Panels are placed in a
southerly facing direction.
