Solar Thermal Panel Installers

It can cost between £4,000-£5,000 to install solar thermal panels, on average, but this depends on your home and the complexity of the job.

However, there is also a government scheme in place to compensate you for using renewable energy. This is called the Domestic Renewable Heating Incentive (RHI). You’ll receive yearly payments for 7 years based on the amount of heat it produces. This can be up to £1,400 per year depending on the size of your house, so this will cover the cost of initial installation.

There’s a few things to think about before committing to solar thermal panels, including:

• Whether your roof catches a lot of sun (ideally south-facing)

• If you have enough space for a hot water cylinder

• If you have a boiler that works with solar thermal technology

One of our engineers can take you through this so you can find the best renewable heating source for your home.

Solar thermal technology is not to be confused with solar panels, as they are run on different systems entirely. Solar thermal technology uses the sun to heat up water to use in your home, whereas solar panels uses energy from the sun to generate electricity.
