A solar energy installation is like converting a car into a hybrid running on LPG.  After the initial investment, your car, or in this case your swimming pool heating system will run efficiently and cheaply for the next 30 years.

From March to October your national grid usage may not need to be switched on and in winter the solar assistance will continue to reduce your national grid based running time.



If you can face the tubes roughly towards the sun. South, southwest or southeast positions are ideal. Even east or west facing positions usually offer 85% of the performance.



How exactly do solar panels work?
When solar radiation or solar energy hits an object or a solar panel, the short-wave radiation is converted to long-wave radiation and this process creates heat.

How much will my system cost?
Contact us and our solar surveyors will provide you with a tailored quotation.

How long will it take you to install my system?
Two or three days in most cases.

Do we get enough sun in the UK to really make a difference?
Yes. Both solar tubes and flat panels are designed for the UK climate and allow the inside of the solar tubes or panels to get very hot regardless of the outside air temperature.

What water temperatures can I expect?
A good proportion of the year your pool will be heated to above 17° C.

Is there a danger that the water could get too hot?
No. The system is designed to equal national averages and is limited to no more than 35 Degrees Celsius.

How do you stop your system from freezing?
Our installations use an indirect method of heating your hot water via a glycol or antifreeze mixture, therefore freezing is not a problem.

What makes your collector better than your competitors'?
We believe our solar tubes and flat panels are the best available because they have been shown to out perform any of our competitors products.

Our solar collectors are constructed from high quality materials, are easy to fit and carry and a 'no quibble quality guarantee' on all of our products.

Do my panels have to face directly south?
South is the optimum and southeast and southwest are fine. Check your building with our suitability survey >>


There are some companies who are importing and selling poor quality Chinese systems in the UK. We have been approached by these companies, but we refuse to sell sub-standard systems to our customers.

As with anything in life you get what you pay for, so a cheap option will undoubtedly will be a false economy where longevity and performance is concerned.
