DIY solar heating
A couple of years ago, I couldn't find DIY solar water heating kits (you
could build your own manky system Blue Peter style, giving the satisfaction of true DIY but little else, I fancy, or pay someone a huge amount to install one). Having revisited the scene I find kits are now available eg: http://www.solartwin.com/ Just taking this as an example, a DIY kit, with a simple plumbing arrangement (for those of us with tanks!), with an additional pv panel to drive the pump, is £1900. I would surmise savings in the region £100-200/year (guess) giving a payback time of 10+years. Does anyone have experience of such kits, with regard to savings, and this kit in particular, with regard to its quality? -- Bob Mannix (anti-spam is as easy as 1-2-3 - not) |
