Payback from solar may be quicker than you think
Payback from environmentally friendly solar like Worcester’s Greenskies solar water heating systems can be quicker than you may think.
Worcester’s customers have found they are seeing sizable payback on their Greenskies solar water heating system right from the word go - with gas bills being dramatically reduced within the first year and some have even switched off their boiler off for the summer months whilst getting all of their hot water for free.
In light of the uncertain fuel prices this is certainly good news for your pocket as well as the environment. Simply being able to turn off your boiler for hot water in the summer could mean the average household saves around £65 on their annual bills and around 325 kg/Co2, (source EST).
Of course, the summer months make the ideal time to consider installing as well as being able to make the most of a solar water heating system but it is worth noting that the panels do not need continuous sunshine and work even on cloudy days – perfect for the unpredictable UK weather!
