SOLAR HOT WATER HEATING SYSTEM
Heating water using solar panels is well established and is the easiest and most affordable way of harnessing the sun's power. Using the suns energy reduces our consumption of conventional fuel and helps to reduce the emission of harmful gases.
SPECIAL FEATURES OF A SOLAR FUSION SYSTEM- Solar Fusion only install the very latest solar panels imported from Europe that operate on ultra violet rays and do not need direct sunlight.
- Incorporating solar panels into your home can reduce your CO2 emissions by 400kg per year as water heating accounts for around 40% of household emissions, thus significantly reducing your carbon footprint.
- Installing solar panels will reduce your dependency on diminishing fossil fuels and means you will make direct savings on your ever increasing energy bill. It also provides a unique opportunity to purchase your future energy requirements at today’s prices.
- Investment in solar panels can increase the value of your property. It has been documented that solar panels can add nearly 9% onto your property value (Source: Guardian Online Newspaper). The average UK property needs to increase in value by a mere 3% to cover the cost of an average solar water heating system.
- Additional indirect savings of solar panels include saving money because your boiler is used less. This reduces the frequency of servicing and extends the longevity of the boiler.
- Solar Panels are mounted at the optimum angle and direction on your roof. The solar panels installed by Solar Fusion are evacuated tubes with a metallic absorber that reflects the UV light back onto the tubes, optimising performance.
- Your existing cylinder is replaced by a solar twin coil cylinder, thus hot water storage is required. In the event of a combi system a suitable position for a new cylinder will be identified.
- The solar twin-coil cylinder is connected to the solar panels by copper pipes and a special fluid is pumped around the solar panels, absorbing solar energy, and back into the cylinder heating the water. During days of little UV light, your existing boiler will be automatically triggered to top up the water temperature.
- A solar controller monitors the performance of the system, displaying the temperature of the solar panels and the cylinder.
- Solar panels require minimal maintenance. As part of every Solar Fusion installation, there is a 10 year manufacturer warranty on the evacuated tubes and 3 year warranty on all parts and labour.
HIGH EFFICIENCY CONDENSING BOILER
In conjunction with a solar thermal hot water system, Solar Fusion also install high efficiency condensing boilers.
Our condensing boilers convert more than 90% of their fuel into heat, compared to 78% for conventional types and 55%-65% for older boilers, thus achieving an ‘A’ for efficiency on the sedbuk rating.
This is accomplished by using two heat exchangers within the boiler which maximises heat transfer from the burner as well as recovering useful heat which would normally be lost with the flue gases, thus maximising operating efficiency.
Therefore if your existing boiler needs to be updated, a high efficiency condensing boiler in conjunction with a solar panels is an excellent means of saving money and saving energy.
