Domestic Solar Hot Water

Solar hot water systems in the home can produce 50%-60% of your total hot water requirements

By using the unlimited solar resource that the sun provides us installing a solar hot water system in your house could reduce your annual bills by 10% or more.

Heating hot water makes up around 15%-20% of a households bills. This could be more if water is heated using electricity. Using solar hot water alongside different fuels will make a big difference to the financial savings and also the carbon saving.

Solar thermal technology is also one of the most effective ways of reducing carbon emissions, By installing a Caplor Energy solar hot water system you will not only be creating a clean, efficient home but helping in the fight against climate change.

These systems use solar panels to heat water rather than electricity like solar PV. The hot water is stored for use later in a cylinder and can easily provide a large proportion of a homes hot water usage  from the solar energy. See how it works for a more detailed explaination.

With increasing fuel bills for domestic consumers along with the environmental impact of fossil fuels, a solar thermal system can make a big difference in creating an efficient clean home.

Caplor Energy can provide a typical domestic solar hot water system from around £4500-£5000. Call us and talk to one of our knowledgeable team on 01432 860644.
