The UK is not sunny enough to be able to run solar panels
FALSE! Solar panels run off light, not heat - and there's more than enough daylight in the UK to power your solar system. The country with the second-highest
number of solar installations in the EU is Austria, which has far less daylight and heat than the UK.
Solar sytems won't work in the winter
FALSE! The only winter weather that might affect yours is snow, if it covers the panels. But the design is such that it quickly
melts without you having to touch it. Our systems all have fossil-fuel backups anyway, so your energy supply won't be affected.
Solar heating systems are too expensive and beyond the means of most average homeowners
FALSE! The installation costs are surprisingly low, your system pays for itself in reduced fuel bills - and there are
grants available to fund your installation
Running a home on fossil fuels doesn't make that much difference to the environment anyway
FALSE! The average family home emits one ton of carbon-dioxide each year, which is a significant amount. The emissions from
your solar energy system: Zero!
The installation would be too complex and disruptive for an average family home
FALSE AGAIN! The installation is straightforward in any home and is just as easy in a three-bed terraced house as
in a millionaire's mansion. Installing your solar heating system can generally be done in one day - and your water should only
be off for about 30-minutes.
