HEAT MORE GREENS
Please e-mail Andrew Manson to express interest and join the twenty households that have already signed up.
The checklist - please read before signing up.
- Provided your house is NOT a listed building and NOT in the conservation area, NO PLANNING PERMISSION IS NEEDED.
- If you live in the conservation area, but intend to use a roof facing away from the street NO PLANNING PERMISSION IS NEEDED.
- Whichever company we go with will need to do a site survey of the property ahead of installation.
- Un-shaded roof space facing South, South West or South East are obviously best.
- Solar water heaters are incompatible with combination boilers - you need to have a hot water cylinder for the panel to feed.
- Many suppliers indicate that a 100 litre tank is sufficient to do the job.
- There are grants available but we need to get an expression of interest first from those wanting to take things further.
