Solar Hot Water Panels
As of December 2024, there have been approximately 43,385 installations of solar thermal panel systems in UK homes, according to data from the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS).
This represents a very small percentage of UK households compared to solar photovoltaic (PV) panel systems, which have been installed in over 1.6 million homes, roughly 5% of all UK households.
Are you missing out on one of the most environmentally friendly solutions?
The popularity of solar thermal has significantly declined in recent years, with fewer than 900 installations between 2022 and 2023 and under 200 in 2024, while solar PV installations have been surging in contrast.
Despite this, they are actually a very good solution for most domestic and commercial buildings especially those with large heating areas such as swimming pools.
UK home and business owners are missing out by not using solar hot water solution as part of their energy saving solution!
