Why choose us?
WHY SHOULD I CONSIDER SOLAR ENERGY?
Solar energy is free, and helps the environment. Fossil fuels are running out and increasing in price. Just like fuel bills. The Kent Energy Centre quotes 50-70% of your hot water can be provided using solar collectors
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FLAT PANELS AND TUBE COLLECTORS?
Glass tubes because of their shape are more efficient in collecting UV rays all year.
WILL I HAVE ENOUGH HOT WATER?
The collector is sized following a site survey and a review made of the amount of hot water required for your site.
DO I NEED TO CHANGE MY CYLINDER?
Not necessarily, it depends on the Solar Thermal system that you choose.
WILL AN INSTALLATION BE EXPENSIVE?
No. One panel suitable for a three-bedroom bungalow will start from approximately £ 3200, however some installers might charge double that price and more.
WILL THE PANEL FREEZE IN THE WINTER OR OVER HEAT?
A control system is installed with sensors that measure temperature changes and safe guard against extremes.
HOW LARGE IS A SOLAR THERMAL COLLECTOR?
An average house would be installed with a 2m2 collector.
WHAT RETURN WILL I GET ON THE INVESTMENT?
Figures are quoted between 7 – 10 years. However how long is a piece of string?
How large is your fuel bill? What is the next price increase on fuel going to be?
SOLAR ENERGY IS FREE.
WHAT TYPE OF MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED?
Glass tubes are cleaned naturally. Should a tube break we can order single replacement tubes rather than complete panels. Guarantees are offered as stated on all the quotations given.
WILL THEY WORK IN ALL WEATHER CONDITIONS?
Solar thermal collectors work on UV rays, which can produce the energy to heat hot water on dull days.
