Homeowners Could Be Basking in Solar Benefits this Summer!
As many of us prepare to enjoy the long hot summer, Kingspan Solar, one of the world-leading manufacturers of solar panels technology is encouraging people to think greener and use the sun to save money. Providing efficient and cost-effective solar hot water solutions, Kingspan Solar's Thermomax product - solar thermal vacuum tubes - and its new Marvel flat panel collectors - are the perfect way to generate energy from the power of the sun.
Offering homeowners the ability to be more eco-friendly, both systems enable people to reduce their carbon footprint, carbon emissions and significantly reduce their hot water costs with full payback achievable within ten years.
The world-renowned Thermomax solar vacuum tube collectors can supply up to 70% of users' annual hot water needs. Plus, provide the mandatory renewable input of 10kWh/m²/annum for Part L regulations contributing to domestic hot water heating, space heating or cooling. Aesthetically pleasing, Thermomax's streamlined and futuristic looks enhance any home and can be incorporated sleekly into the design and structure of new build or existing buildings.
Whilst solar tube vacuum collectors are considered the premium product on the market, flat panels continue to dominate the market in terms of popularity. Newly available to the Irish market is Kingspan Solar's Marvel flat panels, which are cost-effective, robust, hard-wearing and flexible in installation. They are suitable for 'in roof' installations - typically on new build properties - and there's an 'on roof' option for existing properties. The advanced flat panels feature innovative solar technology, ventilation and drainage characterises, and is specially designed for Northern European climates.
With 'green' technology firmly on the agenda, grants are available in Northern Ireland and Ireland. Check out www.sei.ie/Grants/GreenerHomes or http://www.nie-yourenergy.co.uk/renewablegrants. Also the introduction of thermal solar energy technology can significantly improve homeowners BER and EPC ratings thus increasing the desirability and value of your home.
