Myths about Solar Systems

 

Myth: Britain is not sunny enough.

 

Truth: Paradigma Solar Panels do not need direct sunlight as they work on natural day light! In fact, they work at up to 60% efficiency on overcast days.

 

Myth: Solar energy is not efficient enough.

 

Truth: Most systems are extremely efficient especially in the transitional periods from Spring to Autumn.

On average a typical Solar Hot Water Heating System can provide up to 60% of your hot water needs every year, FOR FREE!

That’s often all the hot water needed in the summer and 20% in the winter. An average of 50%-60% per year.

 

Myth: Most of our energy is not for hot water.

 

Truth: Unlike central heating, hot water is an all year round requirement.

 

Myth: Solar energy is too expensive.

 

Truth: With ever increasing fuel prices, renewable energy sources are becoming the obvious choice.  

You will be paying for your solar installation with the money you would otherwise give to the utility companies.

 

Myth: It won´t make a difference to the environment.

 

Truth: Global warming is a fact. Any contribution to a better environment for our future generations is better than no contribution.

Solar Energy Water Heating System can in fact reduce your CO2 emissions by up to half a tonne a year.

 

Myth: The pay back period is too long.

 

Truth: Typically a system will pay for itself, not only by the energy savings and reduced use of your gas or electric boiler, but also by the potential increase in the value of your property.
