We can install a solar panel on your roof with a retrofit solar coil inserted into your existing cylinder from as little as £3,750 (inc. VAT). This should be suitable for most families in a three bedroomed property. The price can rise depending on the specification of the system and the complexity of the installation but our tight control over costs allows us to charge this budget price in most cases.
Our two principal systems differ both in size and cylinder configuration. The Small Sun panel is 2.25 Sqm and uses your existing tank, the Large Sun panel is 3.25 Sqm and heats a new larger twin coil cylinder. The larger system is more efficient and provides more hot water for more baths and showers
Existing cylinders vs new cylinders
A new twin coil cylinder is the most efficient way of harvesting the energy from the solar panel, heating the water from the bottom of the tank. A retrofit coil inserted into your tank is slightly less efficient but does keep the installation cost to a minimum. If your tank is old, it may well be worth installing a new twin coil tank - you could even switch to a mains pressure hot and cold throughout the house if we fit an unvented tank or thermal store. A system with a brand new twin coil tank starts from as little as £4,850 (inc. VAT).
