Solar Heating

Solar heating has significantly increased in popularity in Ireland in the past couple of years. The need to find cheaper more environmentally friendly energy sources, along with a better understanding of how suitable solar heating is for Irish properties, has brought about a change in the heating market. Of course, this has been helped along by generous grants from the government, through Sustainable Energy Ireland, to encourage people to select “superior energy technologies”. Just look at these interesting facts:

  1. One square metre on your roof receives the equivalent of more than 100 litres of oil in free solar energy per year. As a matter of fact, this is more than in Paris.
  2. A solar water heater produces hot water by transforming sunlight into heat through its solar panels. That heat is then stored in a large hot water cylinder so that it is available when you need it. A control system ensures the regulation and safety of the whole equipment.
  3. A solar water heater not only converts direct sunlight but also indirect sunlight into heat, so it works even when the sky is overcast. True, there will be less solar heat available during the winter, but a back-up heater will boost the water temperature. The result is 100% comfort at all times, with plenty of hot water for a fraction of the cost.

More Advantages with Solar Heating

  1. Avoid the cost of rising fossil fuels by using a free, readily available, sustainable energy source – the Sun.
  2. Much lower maintenance costs for the burner than the on-off operation of oil/gas burners — and burners last longer.
  3. Solar heating systems are suitable for new buildings and renovation of existing heating systems.
  4. Can be used in combination with other systems to provide the best heating system for your situation.

Is My Property Suitable for a Solar Heating System?

All you need is:
  1. space to put the solar panels (generally on the roof) and room for the storage cylinder in your utility room or hot press.
  2. access to the sun for the panels (orientated between south-east and south-west) and no over-shadowing by trees or other buildings.
