Hi, What would be the average price for 6m of solar panels compared to 6m of solar tubes?
I am considering installing solar water heating tubes and have a guy from Activ8 (a Monaghan company) calling soon to give me a quote.
I anticipate a small enough array as my south facing roof area is quite small, perhaps the 6m sq of the OP.
What could I expect to be able to get the set up for?
We have a 2500 sq. ft house of traditional concrete block construction, 12 years old. We are two adults and 3 young adults. We have two electric showers, and the two (kids!) that have no electric shower are away at college for 8 months a year and the youngest will be going in 3 years hopefully. We have a large Rayburn range OFCH which strangely cannot heat water alone - don't get me started on the plumbers who did the house!
So for water heating at this time of year, the rads have to come on downstairs at least. This is just an hour in the mornings in summer.
Thanks,
Slim
