And if you want something that really heats the water
properly to high temps, its better to have two separate
systems, one for the electricity and one for the water.


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.
Rod is from Oz ergo most of the stuff he rambles on about is
irrelevant here in the UK.

Whose house is that?


His.


It must be like living in a tomb.


Entirely appropriate given that he has one foot in the grave.


And it's a ****ed passive solar system. The windows are MUCH too
short vertically and there is no eave to stop solar input in
summer
either.-
Vertically high windoes can't be effectively solar shaded,


Wrong, as always.


especially in far north locations such as ours


Wrong, as always.


Tch Tch. Solar shading is less needed in our climate than yours.


Still needed at times in summer even there.


And the house works.


And would work much better if it had been done better.


What have you actually achieved?


Designed a passive solar house from scratch,
built it entirely from a bare block of land myself,
and it works a hell of a lot better than your does.


I was also involved in the design and construction and
running of a couple of solar greenhouses that leaves
your tomb for dead and I was paid to do that too
So show us all a link to the pix.


There is no link to any pix, because it was done
40 years ago, when there was no internet stupid.


Just a load of bollix from a lying halfwit.


The greenhouses are fully documented in something you have to pay for to
read.http://books.google.com.au/books?id=O4o_AAAAYAAJ-


Yeah right. Very convenient.


You never ever could bull**** your way out of a wet paper bag.

Published in 1988 (Not forty yars ago.)


Never said the greenhouses were 40 years ago, ****wit.

Reviews=0


Completely and utterly irrelevant to anything.

That isnt true of the paperback he also did.

And is your name Garzoli?


Nope. I never said I was the only one involved in the greenhouses.

And what have horticultural greenhouses got to do with passive houses?


You made a spectacular fool of yourself with your
puerile **** about what I have achieved, ****wit.

I have a greenhouse too.


But not a SOLAR greenhouse, ****wit.

reams of your puerile **** any 2 year old could leave for dead flushed
where it belongs
