WHY INSTALL SOLAR THERMAL?
Solar thermal technology is the most reliable, efficient and accessible form of renewable energy available today and when combined with Grant's high-efficiency Vortex Condensing Boiler, annual fuel bills can be dramatically reduced. As solar water heating depends on radiation, not direct sunlight, it even works on dull days. Installing Solar collectors can help reduce heating bills by providing up to 70% of a household's domestic hot water requirements per annum. Solar thermal is also great for the environment, as it has no emissions.

WHY CHOOSE SOLAR THERMAL HEATING?
Installing a Solar Thermal system has many advantages for the homeowner. Apart from reducing the amount of fossil fuels used, and the resultant savings in annual fuel bills, the reduction in harmful emissions will help reduce the long-term effects on the Earths climate. Unlike other arrangements there is no need to install an air vent outside on the roof and also no need for regular maintenance. The Grant Solar collectors are the ‘Flat Plate’ type using 4mm thick ‘low Iron’ glass and a copper collector panel which has a special selective coating. This construction maximises solar absorption whilst minimising reflection by up to 95%. Grant Solar collectors can be installed on sloping roofs using either an on-roof or in-roof mounting system and also on flat roofs if required. Grant Solar systems integrate easily with conventional water heating systems.

DOESN'T SOLAR EQUIPMENT SPOIL THE LOOK OF A HOUSE?
Grant have developed flatter and less obtrusive panels, which are available in two colours - silver, for a more contemporary look, and bronze which blends with most roof types on domestic dwellings. These two options ensure maximum architectural design flexibility. There are various mounting options for the panels, so siting should not present any problems.
