Thanks for input Rod
It all revolves around a proposed extension which will (if given the
go-ahead) give us a 15m long x 2.5m pitched roof with SW elevation.
Given that our house is heated just fine for both UFH and Rad. zones
with max. flow rate of 55 degrees C and we're sort sort of down south
(Bristol latitude) if I could get 55 degrees from such a system for 4
hours of the day in deep winter it _might_ prove to be of significant
benefit by offsetting boiler run/start time into the evening.
Perhaps a summer/winter diverter that could (pre)heat DHW in summer and
CH in winter...
Just foundhttp://www.newformenergy.com/
and bounced them a few questions.
All depends on planning app. at the moment though... (and of course
price of such a hybrid solution)

Such a device is pointless. *You don't need any house heating when the
sun is shining. Heat collected in Winter is minimal in the UK climate.
Spend your money on insulation.

Whose house is that? It must be like living in a tomb.


Its harries passive haus.

You are a financial dunce (as usual). I paid out maybe £6000 for
additional insulation etc.

I needed no gas heating system. Save £3000?
So i have paid out £3000 extra for my house.

How long do you suppose it will take to get that £3000 back?
Less than two years.
I have zero heating bill.
I get a 13% return on the PV panels which cost £14,000. (Including
tax.)

So I have a house which gets/saves me almost £4,000/year.

So that would be worth paying out £40,000 extra would it not?
But I only paid out £3000 extra.
Plus a lot of hard work.

This is why you are a retard. No brain at all. Wind and ****.
