More and more people in the UK are becoming aware of green issues, and the impact their home has on the environment.

For anyone looking for a clean, renewable source of hot water, solar heating is the answer. It can provide up to 70% of the energy needed for your home's hot water requirements, making it better for your pocket as well as better for the environment.

To purchase a VELUX Solar Hot Water System for a three bedroom home will cost around £3,566.15. This rises to an average of £4,388.66 for a five bedroom home. These figures can be used as a guide, however, costs will vary depending on which solar system you use and the installer fee.
