SAVINGS
Without precise knowledge of hot water usage and climatic conditions it is difficult to specify the level of contribution a solar sytem will make to hot water production. However, it is generally accepted that well-designed systems will provide on average 70% of a family's hot water requirements.

This is significant because according to Sustainable Energy Ireland (SEI), heating water
accounts for 64% of all domestic household energy
consumption.

Solar panels, which act as a supplement to existing water heating
arrangements, will significantly reduce bills and at the same time substantially reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

The standard electricity bill for 1.7m households in Ireland jumped from
€495 a year in 2002 to today's €1500. Using these figures at current energy
prices, an average Irish family will thus pay more than €45000 over the next
30 years only to heat its house.

ADVANTAGES
Highly Productive: With solar thermal tube collectors a family can save up to
70% of its energy costs for hot water supplies.

Additional Value:
Adding a solar power system will also add value to your home.

Easy Assembly:
A solar thermal tube collector is entirely pre-assembled, is ready to be connected when delivered, and can be assembled on roofs with varying angles of inclination effortlessly.

Long-Lasting:
The collectors' absorber and mirror surfaces lie in a vacuum, and are therefore well protected from wear, tear and dirt.

Efficient:
Solar thermal tube collectors require less sun than you might think. They work particularly efficiently in the transitional periods preceding spring and following autumn.

Aesthetically Pleasing:
With its elegant design, a solar thermal tube collector is the hallmark of an environmentally minded household.

Comfort: Enjoy the comfort of plenty of hot water at a very low cost.

Savings: Replace increasingly expensive fossil fuels with free energy from the sun.
