Description
Fully revised and updated by experienced solar water heating installer Chris Laughton of The Solar Design Company, Tapping the Sun is the introduction you need if you want to upgrade your home hot water system to solar.
A complete step-by-step guide, Tapping the Sun covers all the elements of adapting a conventional domestic water heating system - from likely costs and equipment to basic mechanical principles and legal issues, it cuts right through the technical jargon and shows just how the changes can be made.
With energy savings of 1000 kilowatt hours (kWh) per year (translating to roughly 100), solar water heating is one of the best ways a household can help reduce global warming and preserve fossil fuel resources. And so many households can do it - there are currently over 42,000 solar water heating systems fitted in the UK.
Tapping the Sunanswersyour questions:
Will it work in our cold northern climate?
Will the costs outweigh the benefit and money saved?
How can I fit a solar panel into a central heating or hot water system?
What's the difference between a flat plate panel and an evacuated tube?
Where can I buy the necessary parts and get further information?
A reasonably priced and very useful little guide to solar power. Well worth a look!
