Solar Heating
☀️ Solar Thermal Heating
Simple • Renewable • Sun-Powered Comfort
At Greentech Renewable Solutions Ltd, we design and install Solar Thermal Heating systems that harness free, clean energy from the sun to heat your water. It's one of the most reliable and cost-effective ways to cut your carbon footprint and lower energy bills — especially when paired with other renewable systems.
💡 What Is Solar Thermal Heating?
Solar Thermal systems use roof-mounted panels (called collectors) to absorb the sun’s heat and transfer it to a hot water cylinder in your home. It’s a direct and efficient way to generate domestic hot water — ideal for households with high hot water demand.
✅ Key Benefits
- Cuts water heating bills by 40–70%
- Reduces carbon emissions significantly
- Works year-round (most effective spring to autumn)
- Long-lasting technology (20+ years lifespan)
- Minimal maintenance and running costs
🌍 How It Works
- Solar collectors on your roof absorb sunlight
- A heat-transfer fluid circulates to a coil in your hot water cylinder
- This heats your water — supported by boiler or heat pump if needed
🏡 Ideal For
- Homes with high hot water usage
- Properties with unshaded, south-facing roof space
- Households reducing reliance on gas/electricity
🔧 Our Services Include
- Bespoke system design
- Full installation: panels, piping, and cylinder
- Ongoing servicing and performance checks
