Solar water heating is good for the environment and good for your pocket. It will help reduce your central heating bills.

What is solar water heating?

Quite simply, Solar heating converts sunlight into heat. This heat is transferred to your hot water cylinder, this helps to supplement the gas energy used to fuel your current boiler.

How does solar water heating work?

We attach solar panels to your roof and then connect them to a solar hot water cylinder, using a heat transfer system. The cylinder itself can be placed in an unobtrusive place such as an airing cupboard. The cylinder then stores the hot water that has been produced during the day by the sunlight, ready for use when you need it.

Where do the solar panels go?

A South facing roof ensures that the solar panels get the highest exposure to the sun. However, solar panels can run efficiently when fitted to a south-east or south-west facing roof, provided there is only minimal shading.

Of course, the roof has to be strong enough to support the solar panels, you can imagine, the panels are heavy items. Also, a special hot water cylinder is needed to store the hot water. Ordinary storage cylinders can sometimes be converted. However, in a lot of cases a new one will be required.

How much will this system cost?

Do I need planning permission?

The simple answer in London is - no. However, if you live in a conservation area you will probably require planning permission - so contact your local authority. If you live in a listed building you will not be allowed to attach solar panels to it.

Can I get a government grant for installing solar heating?

Technically, there are grants available for installing solar heating to homes in London.

The reality, is that obtaining a grant is a difficult, time consuming process with an enormous amount of paperwork and red tape.

So our advice is, if you want solar heating for your home - you'll have to fund it yourself.

For more information on the grants goto Low Carbon Buildings Programme FAQ. You will need to get a quote from a certified installer and then apply for a grant. It is very much dependant on whether you have met a set of very rigorous qualification criteria.
