Solar Heating
Solar Heating - An Introduction
Anyone would think that solar heating was something new given the amount of media coverage and market growth in recent years. The first solar heating facility was actually manufactured in 1952.

However, active solar heating is new. It uses pumps to move a heat containing medium throughout a home to heat it. Heating your home with an active solar energy system can significantly reduce your fuel bills in the winter. A solar heating system will also reduce the amount of air pollution and greenhouse gases that result from your use of fossil fuels such as oil, propane and natural gas for heating or that may be used to generate the electricity that you use.
There are currently two forms of active solar heating: active solar heating by fluid and active solar heating by air.
Active Solar Heating by Fluid - In Brief
Solar liquid collectors are most appropriate for central heating. They are the same as those used in solar domestic water heating systems. Flat plate solar collectors are situated on the roof of the house to collect as much solar energy as possible. Pipes connected to the top and bottom of the plate array force water continually through the plates, heating the water. The water leaving the plates is pumped into a reservoir. This reservoir may be connected to the hot water heater in the house to allow the heated water to be used for laundry, bathing and other household needs.
The water is pumped from the reservoir into the home and heats it through several possible methods. The water could be pumped beneath the floors of the house. This is the most effective method, but requires the pipes to be installed during the house's construction. It may also be sent into heated skirtings or old-fashioned radiators.
Active Solar Heating by Air - In Brief
Active solar heating with air is more effective in large structures such as apartment complexes or office buildings as central air conditioning systems and air ducts are required. Instead of flat plate solar collectors being used, row after row of black, heat absorbing air-tight rubberized tubes are installed on the roof. Air is pumped through these tubes, heating it significantly. The air is then taken directly to the center of the house's heating system and released through the heating ducts. This is not a continuous system as it has no reservoir. It is turned on as it is needed. An air compressor does the job of pumping air through the pipes on the roof.
Growth In UK Solar Energy Systems
“Solar panels are really popular at the moment, I think people like them because they’re trendy, but they also help the environment and can make you money,” says Tom Norris, from SPS Solar Panels Supermarket in London.
In fact, solar panels are fast becoming the most popular renewable energy technology in the UK; according to the Solar Trade Association (STA), there are over 100,000 solar thermal systems in the UK already.
TIP: Over 3,000 solar energy systems were installed in the UK in the past month. To find out if your property - residential or commercial - is suitable for a solar energy installation we recommend that you book a FREE Solar Survey or use our Enquiry Form to compare prices for a Solar Panels Installation.
