Default Today's solar heat

Thanks for the info. My parents did a while back briefly consider the
Solartwin system but didn't go ahead in the end. Think because they had a
combi fitted and this made the system impossible or less practical. It's a
good idea but we are going for the indirect style system.


Hang on - why is it impractical to use when you have a combi system?

We have a combi boiler too, the two systems work well together. Remember
that you can't guarantee all the hot water you want every day of the year
from solar, at those times the 'boost' on the combi boiler controller can
heat the water in the cylinder for as long as you like up to an hour, or on
'over-ride' for as long as you want - through the indirect system.

It's a wonderfully versatile arrangement!
