Free Energy

It is a popular misconception that solar panels only works in the summer. From May to September the Grant Solar can produce 100% of energy needed for heating your domestic water. The Grant Sahara works not just with direct sunlight but also diffused sunlight, meaning they work on a cloudy days.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I heat water through solar panels?

Solar thermal systems use energy from the sun to warm water that is then stored in a hot water cylinder or thermal store. Alternatively, a solar power diverter such as an Eddi can be fitted to a battery storage system; once the battery is full then the energy diverts to the Eddi and that sends the power to the immersion to heat the water.

Do solar water heaters work in winter?

In short, yes they do. Even if the temperature drops below zero the solar thermal panels are made to work. Solar panel thermals provide hot water of up to 20 degrees in the winter and the remainder is topped up with the existing system. The panels have a special non freezing and heat protected liquid that circulates silently within the closed loop system in the panel and through the homeowners new cylinder. The fluid that passes around the system never touches the water used in the home.

Will I need a new cylinder?

If you opt for solar thermal panels, then yes, you will need a new hot water cylinder. The new cylinder provided by Enviroplanet will have a twin coil heating system. The lower coil is heated by the solar thermal system and the upper coil is heated by the conventional boiler to top up the hot water amount as needed.

If you opt for an Eddi then your existing cylinder will be sufficient.

Will a thermal panel system work at night?

No a thermal panel system or Eddi will not work at night, both need daylight to generate power.

Will a thermal panel system work on a cloudy day?

Although the panels work best in direct sunlight there will still be enough diffused light on a cloudy day to generate power.

Not only were Enviroplanet the first company to respond to my enquiry about the suitability of Solar Panels for our kitchen extension, but they were patently honest.

We needed a home charger in a hurry as EV arrived sooner than anticipated, and also had the added complication of needing a set up that accommodated our existing solar array.
