What is Solar?
Everywhere we look we are being urged to consider energy efficient options for our homes. As
customers become more ‘green’ and governments encourage the use of renewable energy sources,
solar energy is becoming more popular and the demand for it is increasing.
Solar energy in the UK
The Sun has been heating our bodies and drying our clothes for thousands of years but here in
the UK we have not been using its potential to provide us with hot water. This begs the question
would solar power work here? The fact is, solar power is greater than most people imagine with
enough energy hitting the earth in one minute to meet our demands for a whole year – if only we
could harness it properly. The technology in a Baxi Solarflo™ system can utilise enough solar power
to effectively heat 90% of a family’s hot water in the summer and an average of around 55% of it
annually making the investment into solar hot water systems worthwhile.
Why use Solar?
Savings for customers mean opportunities for installers
Real savings can be made over the medium to long term when homeowners switch to renewable
energy sources. As the world’s supply of gas diminishes, we must use this resource more efficiently
and find other ways of meeting our hot water requirements. A Baxi Solarflo™ system gives customers
a sustainable energy source which is free and natural, so it’s becoming an attractive addition for
customers and developers with an eye on the future. Thanks to the superb design and the training we
offer, Baxi Solarflo™ systems are also easy for installers to fit.
