Those hardened Glow-worm fans out there may have already seen the information on our main website about last year’s launch of our Clearly Solar range.

Well, after much demand we have launched a dedicated website on all things solar thermal. This –basically means a solar thermal system which includes a solar panel (or number of panels in some cases) to supply as much as 50-60% of your annual domestic hot water.

The new website can be found at www.glow-wormheating.co.uk/clearlysolar and answers lots of common questions so you can see whether you might be able to get a solar thermal system installed at your property and understand exactly what it might involve.

There is a common misconception that solar thermal needs a hot climate to function properly but actually the system works by collecting diffused sunlight to generate energy to heat your domestic hot water.

Many people also believe that installing solar thermal systems makes their homes more attractive to potential buyers and given that solar products will increase your rating on the Energy Performance Certificate (part of the Home Information Pack), it’s easy to understand why more of us are going for solar thermal systems.

Renewable energy for the home is no longer a thing of the future for those with radical green ideas – it’s accessible and affordable. What’s more it’ll also help you do your bit for the planet by reducing your carbon footprint and in the long term save you money by reducing your energy consumption.

So if you’re interested in solar thermal as an option for your home, why not take a look at our website or speak to one of the fully trained Clearly Solar installers in your area.
