Solar water heating by Firman Solar providing lower heating bills and energy saving.
How many solar panels will I need?
Typically, you will require 1 solar panel for every 100 litres of hot water your solar water heating system is required to heat. A 3 bedroom house would usually have a 200-300 hot water cylinder, requiring 2-3 solar panels.
How long will it take to install?
Installation is complete in around 2 to 3 days. Typically, 2 Firman Solar installers will be on site and will need to work on your roof and have access to your boiler to complete your solar water heating installation.
Will it work on a cloudy day?
Yes. PJ Firman solar panels have been optimised to make the most of 'diffuse radiation', that is what most consider as 'daylight'. Our solar panels will work even on cloudy days and while they will perform best in sunny conditions, our solar panel technology ensures that your system will still perform well in less than idea situations.
