Solar panels are a superb investment, and one which will provide you with great savings for many years to come. <\/p>\n
As always, you need to give any investment you make a lot of consideration. <\/p>\n
That\u2019s why there are certain question to ask your installer when he comes round to measure up and give you more information. <\/p>\n
But don\u2019t worry because there aren\u2019t that many things you need to know. Essentially, the system will run with little maintenance for decades, providing you with incredible savings.<\/p>\n
But make sure you ask these questions:<\/p>\n
Solar panels will operate optimally on south, southwest and southeast facing rooftops. While they\u2019ll still work on other facing roofs and provide savings, they simply won\u2019t be as efficient. <\/p>\n
Solar panel systems are surprisingly heavy. That means not every roof can simply have them placed on top and you may need additional structural support. Of course, this would be more expensive. <\/p>\n
When the solar system is installed, typically your old water cylinder will be removed and a replacement fitted. You\u2019ll want the largest system possible to store as much hot water in the tank. <\/p>\n
Obviously a larger water cylinder will require more room, and what better way than to hide it in the loft. This makes life easier for the installer too as the pipework won\u2019t have to travel as far. <\/p>\n
Solar water is only suitable where a lot of hot water is used on a weekly basis. If you don\u2019t use that much. then the hot water the system is warming up won\u2019t be used and the system will be redundant. That\u2019s exactly why solar heating isn\u2019t suitable for holiday homes or properties where the residents are away for long periods. <\/p>\n
