The
Royal Borough of Kingston has now signed contracts with
Solar Services to provide solar water heating to residential
care homes. The systems are used to provide hot water
without the associated pollution of burning conventional
fossil fuels. Hot water use in care homes is constant
and therefore a large part of the boroughs energy bill.
Due to the high temperatures produced at the tap by
the system, a limiter is fitted to protect the residents
from possible scolding. There are a number of commercial
applications for solar water heating and the company
is happy to talk through any ideas for current or future
projects.
Solar Services is the sole UK distributor for Stiebel
Eltron’s solar collectors.
