The best buy solar water heating systems must be zero carbon. Our solar technology eliminates the environmental contradiction in conventional solar heating. Old solar equipment burns mains electricity in its pumps and solar panel controls. But Solartwin’s cute solar pump is 100% solar electric powered: zero carbon, powered by solar electric (PV, photovoltaic) solar panels. “I would not want to heat my home’s hot water with solar panels which burn up extra fuel at a power station” is a common reason why people choose Solartwin. See YouTube page for our latest videos on our solar heating technology.

The best solar panels for sustainability. In a 2001 DTI report, called Side by Side Testing of Eight Solar Water Heating Systems, not all solar panels were found to be equal, even though most delivered similar amounts of net carbon savings. The issue was “net”. In terms of total sustainability, as judged by carbon clawback, which is a touchstone of sustainability in solar water heating systems, Solartwin was by far the best performing solar water heating system – by a very big margin – and evacuated tubes were the worst performing solar heating systems on this key parameter.

Zero carbon solar panels wins out. The report’s carbon clawback averages were: Solartwin: 0% carbon clawback, Other flat plates: 17% carbon clawback and evacuated tubes: 23% carbon clawback. It is not advisable to buy solar panels which use any electricity at all. “I want to heat my home’s hot water with solar panels which do not increase my mains electricity costs at all.” is the approach of most Solartwin users.

The best solar heating system is also designed for safety. Experienced solar equipment suppliers, the careful way that we plumb Solartwin panels into hot water cylinders complies with UK’s Legionella Code L8, while most of the solar industry blatantly ignores this important national safety guidance. It show the power of solar industry pressure that Which? Magazine declined to publish concerns on this safety issue on early 2009, despite us briefing them, apparently following approaches from the Solar Trade Association. “I would be uncomfortable if I were to heat my home ‘s hot water with solar panels which breach safety guidance. Safety guidance is there for a reason” is an example of a Solartwin user’s thinking.

Safer again than most solar thermal systems, Solartwin’s solar heating system has lower voltages, lower solar panel pressures and even lower peak panel temperatures: the solar hot water in the solar panel is non-boiling in normal operation. Solartwin also has no large smashable glass bits: ideal solar for DIY.

Best solar panel supplier” says Ethical Consumer! Socially active solar heating panel suppliers, we bank at the Co-Op, pass B&Q’s rigorous quality & ethical audit. We support: Ashton Hayes Zero Carbon Village, Centre for Alternative Technology, donated a solar DIY heating panels kit to Chester Catholic High School’s Classroom for the Future. See our commercial solar website. “I like to heat my home’s hot water using solar panels which are not just officially accredited, but which are also actually acclaimed” is a Solartwin users approach.
