There are many different types of solar heating systems, each of which has its own merits. Our in-roof and on-roof solutions are suitable for both new build and retrofit.
How it works
Potterton Solar is a solar water heating system. Water is heated in an indirect way via a ready mixed water and glycol solution, which circulates inside a pipe network between the solar panel and cylinder coil. As the solar energy is absorbed by the solar panel, the fluid heats up and is transferred to the cylinder, heating the water via the dedicated solar cylinder coil. After leaving the coil, the cooler fluid makes its way back up to the solar panel where the loop process starts again. The 'indirect' water heating system is one of the most commonly used, easy to to install and consistent systems available.
