Green Heat Wales supply, install, commission and maintain both solar thermal and solar pv systems. We are accredited by the Microgenertion Certification Scheme or MCS for short, for both types of solar.
Solar to supply Hot Water is known as Solar Thermal. This type of system uses solar panels or tubes which are fitted to a roof or wall. These collectors, gain heat from the sun and use it to heat up your water, in a solar specific hot water cylinder. If you can not generate enough hot water from the sun, you can use a your boiler or immersion heater to top up the cylinder.
A solar thermal system can generates upto 90% of your hot water requirements and is eligable for RHI payments to make the technology more affordable. A solar thermal system is designed to operate automatically without any interference, other than the annual service.
