Solar Thermal
Why solar energy - what's in it for me?
Whichever way you look at it, heating your house and your water won't be getting cheaper any time soon. Installing a solar thermal system from Capture will enable you to collect your own "free" energy from the sun, freeing you from reliance on traditional "dirty" energy sources and giving you independence by helping to:
- Reduce your energy bills now.
- Protect you from future rises in fuel costs.
- Reduce your carbon footprint without compromising your lifestyle.
- And, in all likelihood, it will add value to your property too.
Wherever hot water is needed in substantial quantities, a solar thermal system can help: anything from a restaurant to a leisure centre, a care home to a campsite.
Our service
Nothing about Capture is off the shelf: We don't offer a one-size-fits-all approach to solar-powered water heating, instead, we offer:
- No-obligation design and quotation service.
- Individual systems, designed for individual situations.
- Site visits arranged to suit you.
Whilst we generally recommend vacuum tube collectors, we also offer flat-plate collectors, either roof mounted or in-set (Vacuum tubes offer higher performance, but clients occasionally specify flat-plate because they prefer the way they look).
- Our collectors come with a ten year manufacturer's warranty.
- Our labour is covered by a two year guarantee.
- All our solar engineers are BPEC qualified.
- We're members of the Renewable Energy Association.
- We're quite accustomed to collaborating with other contractors on site.
And if you're a business, you might be able to claim enhanced capital allowance on solar thermal systems - see the Carbon Trust website for further information www.carbontrust.co.uk.
