Solar Panels

With our energy bills seemingly always on the up, many of us are looking for alternatives that can help reduce both our costs and our impact on the environment. Solar power is the most rapidly growing renewable energy source, is unlimited in availability, and environmentally friendly. It’s a great time to consider the benefits of Solar Power to help heat your home while reducing your carbon footprint.

Solar panels work by harnessing the heat from the sun to heat the water circulating through the panel, taking it’s temperature from that of cold water to warm water. In the summertime this will likely meet most of your hot water needs, while during winter it will pre-heat your water with your oil or gas fire heating system doing the rest of the work.

The energy saved in heating / pre-heating the water is very significant – once installed you will immediately start saving money – and you also have the opportunity to avail of a potential SEAI grant of up to €800*.
