Save Money with a Solar Thermal System

At Nottingham Gas & Renewable Heating, we are committed to installing innovative and future-proof technology that supports sustainable, renewable energy. That’s why we continuously train our engineers to install high-efficiency heating solutions that integrate with solar energy — helping homeowners reduce fuel bills and carbon emissions.

With Viessmann Solar Thermal Systems, you can complement your existing Boiler or Air Source Heat Pump with free, natural energy from the sun. Whether you're installing a new heating system or looking to enhance your current setup, Solar Thermal technology can help make your home greener, more efficient, and more cost-effective.

What is Solar Thermal Heating?

Solar Thermal Heating Systems use the sun's energy to heat water for your home. These systems work all year round, significantly reducing your reliance on gas, oil, or electricity to heat water. Solar Thermal Panels absorb heat from sunlight, transferring it to a fluid that circulates through your system and heats your domestic hot water (DHW). If needed, your boiler or immersion heater can provide additional heat to ensure hot water availability, even in winter. By integrating Solar Thermal Panels with your existing or new heating system, you can

  • Reduce energy bills by using free solar heat.

  • Lower your carbon footprint with sustainable energy.

  • Increase your home's efficiency with cutting-edge Viessmann technology.

How Do Solar Thermal Heating Systems Work?

Step-by-Step Process:

  • 1

    Capturing Solar Energy

    Panels on your roof absorb the sun's heat, even on cloudy days.

  • 2

    Heating the Fluid

    This heat is transferred to a special heat-transfer fluid circulating through the system.

  • 3

    Transferring Heat to Water

    The heated fluid runs through a coil inside a hot water cylinder, warming your domestic hot water supply.

  • 4

    Backup Heating

    On days with less sunlight, your boiler or immersion heater can boost the water temperature as needed.

  • 5

    Continuous Savings

    The more you use solar-heated water, the less energy you need from traditional fuel sources.

Advantages of Solar Thermal Heating Systems

  • Lower Energy Bills - Use the sun's free energy to heat your water, reducing your gas or electricity usage.
