Solar water options - how to make the right choice?
There are so many options when it comes to solar hot water
If you are thinking of installing a solar water heating system, you will need to consider how big the system needs to be, make decisions about the location of panels and cylinder and decide on the type of system and cylinder you want to use.
Action Alltrades are your solar experts and can help you make the right decision such as:
- The size and type of your system
- Controls and if you want a booster
- Solar panels types and where have these located
- Pumps and cylinders
Making the most out of your solar hot water
A solar hot water system normally produces more hot water in summer
In the months where there may not be as much sun, this is where the supplementary booster system will ensure you have enough hot water for your needs.
To make the most of your system you should use:
- Water-efficient taps, showerheads, and appliances
- Hot water efficiently, especially in winter
- A timer or programmable control to make sure your booster system isn't heating water you won't need.
Action Alltrades can help you get the most out of your solar hot water.

Maintenance
A solar water heating system typically requires little maintenance but, for maximum performance and energy savings, some regular maintenance is needed.
Hot water cylinders should be maintained in a similar manner to normal electric hot water cylinders.
Hot and cold relief valves should be flushed every six months and the anode in a glass-lined water container should be changed every five years.
