Solar Heating?

Q: Does anyone have good or bad experiences with any UK Solar Heating suppliers/installers.. This is not really a DIY project but the total house energy project is really DIY with, and often without, the help of professionals. Any recommendations or people I should avoid?.

A: Have a look at http://www.navitron.org.uk/ - I had a system installed by one of their recommended installers a few months back and the quality of the product and installation are both excellent. The system has delivered a surprising amount of energy, (better than I was expecting) and even on cold days like we're getting now pre-heats the HW cylinder so the boiler has less to do. I went with a data-logger option on the solar controller so have been able to keep a close eye on what the system does etc! It depends upon why you want Solar Water Heating,. If its to look green then almost any supplier will do. If it's to save money then none will as no commercial installation will pay back its installation cost in its lifetime. Solar Water heating is one of the easiest DIY projects BTW and doing it yourself is the only way of coming anywhere near breakeven.
