Gledhill has developed a range of cylinders specifically for solar applications, therefore providing an efficient way of providing domestic hot water. Each model features a dedicated high performance solar coil, transferring the maximum amount of heat from the solar circuit to the stored water.
Conventional boilers and hot water cylinder systems are often compatible with solar water heating. However, if you have a combi boiler, this will mean a solar hot water cylinder must be added to the system, so you''ll need to consider where this might be located.
Mixergy''s solar hot water cylinder. Make the most of solar power consumption without needing a traditional battery with the Mixergy Solar X. We''ve used innovative engineering and machine learning to transform the humble hot water cylinder into the leading smart hot water solution for Solar PV.
Solar water heating systems, or solar thermal systems, use energy from the sun to warm water for storage in a hot water cylinder or thermal store. Because the amount of available solar energy varies throughout the year, a solar water heating system won''t provide 100% of the hot water required throughout the year. A conventional boiler or immersion heater is normally used to make up the difference.
Larger solar hot water arrays can also be arranged to provide some contribution to heating your home. However, the amount of heat provided is generally very small (less than 10% of the home''s heating requirement), so it is not usually considered worthwhile.
Solar water heating systems use panels or tubes, called solar collectors, to gather solar energy. The solar collectors convert the infra-red portion of visible light into heat. They are filled with a mix of water and glycol. This fluid is pumped round a circuit, which passes through the hot water cylinder.
The system works all year round, though you''ll need to heat the water further with a boiler or immersion heater, especially during the winter months. In the summer, it should provide around 90% of your hot water requirements, dropping to around 25% in the winter.
Solar hot water collectors are typically placed on South facing roof, or somewhere between East to West (but not North facing). You will need around five square meters that receive direct sunlight for the main part of the day.
Energy is transferred from the sun to the water-glycol fluid used to heat water stored in a hot water cylinder. Inside the hot water cylinder, a base coil is connected to the solar collectors. Typically, one cylinder is used, with either an immersion heater or another coil connected to your boiler, near the top of the cylinder. This top immersion heater or coil will heat the water to a higher temperature when needed. If a dedicated solar hot water cylinder is not already installed, then you will usually need to replace the existing cylinder.
Conventional boilers and hot water cylinder systems are often compatible with solar water heating. However, if you have a combi boiler, this will mean a solar hot water cylinder must be added to the system, so you''ll need to consider where this might be located.
Most home solar water heating systems are considered ''permitted developments'', meaning they don''t require planning permission. However, exceptions apply, and you should check with your local planning office.
Solar hot water systems are typically low maintenance, but it is important to follow your installer''s guidance. Solar water heating systems installed by an MCS contractor will come with a five-year workmanship warranty and 10 years or more for the panel warranty.
Once fitted, your installer should leave written details of any maintenance checks that you can carry out to ensure everything is working properly. This normally includes checking a pressure gauge to ensure there are no leaks.
