Why Solar Energy
Why Solar Energy?
The need for energy is increasing both in this country and all over the world in line with increases in the standard of living. This is putting more and more strain on our already limited resources and in turn having an adverse effect on the environment. The sun is a sustainable source of energy for today and future generations.
Daily hot water requirements can correspond to 50% - 70% of a household's fuel consumption. When spread over the year this amounts to considerable energy and cost. This can be reduced or eliminated by the use of solar energy.
The Solar Heating System installed by Solarflair works with all types of domestic hot water systems and will provide FREE hot water.
Solar panels work throughout the year. All they need is sunlight and can absorb this even on cloudy day. The expected savings are between 50% and 70% of a households water heating costs. The more hot water a house uses the greater the saving.
