HARNESSING THE SUNS FREE ENERGY
"Solar thermal hot water heating is one such solution and its Europe's fastest growing renewable technology"
With global temperatures continuing to rise and traditional energy resources in decline its no wonder that energy conservation is coming to the for-front of people’s minds. The development of innovative and effective renewable energy solutions is critical to the environmental well-being. Solar thermal hot water is one such solution and its Europe’s fastest growing technology.
Did you know around 60% of your total annual domestic energy requirements are used just to heat water! The principle is based on harnessing the suns energy to indirectly heat water in a storage cylinder
Our SDHW (Solar Direct Hot Water) systems can provide around 60% of annual domestic hot water requirements and because it uses indirect solar radiation, not just direct sunlight it works as efficiently in the UK as it does in other countries with similar climates. The solar collectors will even work on cloudy days.

Alternative Energy Solutions offer only the best state of the art technology in solar collectors, controllers, pumping stations and storage cylinders which make up the complete installation. We offer two types of solar collector, Solamax and Thermomax.
As you would expect this system will work in harmony with your existing water heating arrangements, to ensure hot water at all times. We can also offer you the opportunity to upgrade your old boiler to an energy efficient SEDBUK band ‘A’ rated ‘condensing boiler’ at the same time as the solar installation if you require. Our total solar system solution intelligently blends solar and conventional energy supplies to optimise heating efficiency.
