SOLAR MYTHS – AFFORDABLE SOLUTIONS
Solar fiction...
- Britain is not sunny enough
- We don't use much hot water
- Solar energy is too expensive
- Solar energy is not efficient enough
- It won't make any difference to the environment
Solar fact...
- Affordable Solar Energy systems use diffused radiation form the sun - not direct sunlight
- You use hot water all year round
- It has never been cheaper! You pay for it out of money you will spend anyway
- Affordable Solar Energy collectors are 94.8% efficient, giving working all year round benefits - even on cloudy days
- Climate change is a fact! Any contribution to a better environment for future generations is better than no contribution!

Affordable Solar Energy Savings
When calculating fuel cost savings using a solar system, many variable criteria have to be taken into account:
- Amount of daylight
- Temperature of water stored in cylinder
- Amount of water stored in cylinder
- Temperature of water at the tap
- Amount of hot water used
- When hot water is used
- Number of people in house
- What proportion of energy is used for hot water.
What we can tell you is:
- The system will provide up to 68% of year round hot water
- Fuel bills have nearly doubled in the last 5 years
- Fuel bills are likely to continue to rise
- You are paying to heat your hot water anyway
- The system will reduce your fuel bill
- The system will reduce your carbon footprint
Finite Resources
Fossil fuels are a finite resource, which have important applications other than burning. We will not be allowed to exhaust our reserves, indeed, we will not be allowed to continue to pollute. Sooner or later we will all have to replace it with alternative energy and the responsibility is with all of us.
