In the UK we receive sufficient sunshine to provide up to 70% of our annual domestic hot water needs from well designed solar panels and such a system will also reduce harmful emissions by up to 500 kg per square metre of solar panel per year. The average household uses the equivalent of 3000kW hours of power per year to heat water. In the south of the country we can collect up to 1300 kW hours per square metre of solar panels per year. This is free energy waiting to be collected and used all year round. The facts about solar energy can't be ignored!
