Comparison of Solar Water Heating Systems

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) July 2, 2009 -- With the growing number of solar water heating systems on the market and the apparent conflicting advice as to whether to choose a flat plate system or a vacuum tube solar water heating system. SolarKent.co.uk has now produced a brief summary comparing systems from the 4 major UK suppliers.

One of the key outcomes is how similar the systems are in terms of price and the effectiveness in terms of energy generated, though surprisingly showing a solar vacuum tube system having the best cost per kWh.

Simon Mallett who maintains the SolarKent website said "Though I knew the vacuum tube systems were more efficient when considering roof surface area, it was a surprise to see one of these systems apparently have a lower quoted installation cost as well!"

He went on to say "This rather shows up the cowboy companies who still sell vacuum tube systems at wildly inflated prices on the premise that they are a more costly technology, or 3rd generation, clearly there is no need for such a high price!"

The solarkent web site also provides a great deal of practical and independent advice on solar and other renewable energy along with a section on avoiding being ripped off. The advice being that a solar water heating system should cost in the region of £4,000. The recent research indicating that this is a relevant price whatever technology is used!
