Solar thermal systems are widely made used throughout Europe, and whilst it is relatively well established in the U.K, it still remains an underexploited energy technology in this country. What’s more, compared with other renewable energy technologies, solar thermal is a relatively inexpensive way of generating hot water for your home. You could even save up to £100 annually by making the switch.

Can a solar thermal system work in 'sunny' Yorkshire?

Ok, we may not be basking in Mediterranean temperatures most of the time, but solar panels still work effectively in the UK because they simply require light to function properly – so even on cloudy days you are harnessing the latest in energy technology.

More often than not, people think that the climate of the U.K means that it is unsuitable for the use of solar thermal systems. However, solar collectors do not require bright sunlight to function; they simply require light. So they can still heat water even on days that are cloudy as there is still solar radiation present.

How do solar thermal systems work?

So it's a cheap, renewable, clean way of heating your home, but how does it work? Well, we're not going to bore you with the details, but basically solar thermal heating uses the sun’s energy and converts it into heat which is then transferred into your home in the form of hot water and space heating.

Benefits of using solar thermal heating

Some of the advantages that come along with thermal solar heating systems overlap with solar energy. Here at Green and Reliable, we have listed a few advantages for you!

Reduces fossil fuel dependency

Solar thermal can minimise our reliance on fossil fuels. This factor is critical in extending the life of nonrenewable energy sources for future generations.

Renewable

Solar thermal energy is both renewable and sustainable, which means there will never be a shortage. Solar thermal offers a significant advantage over gas, coal and oil, allowing us to use it to heat water indefinitely.

Cheaper to run

Solar hot water systems might be costly to build, but they are inexpensive to operate. They require more maintenance than solar PV, although they remain a low-maintenance choice.

Takes up less space

Solar hot water systems for domestic use take up a very small area and are frequently installed on rooftops. This eliminates the need for additional solar thermal collectors throughout your home (such as in your garden.

What you need to consider before contacting an installer

You need to carry out a few things before hiring a solar thermal installer. The first thing is that you need to make sure you have enough roof space which faces the south. The reason for this is that the further away it is facing from the south, the less effective your solar thermal system will be.

The second thing you need to look out for is that there are no obstructions, are there any trees or tall buildings nearby? These sorts of obstructions can block the sun, causing a negative effect.

And finally, you need to check if you have planning permission to install a solar thermal system. If you own the property, then you do not need planning permission.
