Hi,

Can't comment on costs to install or run but usage is fab. I rented a place for 6 months before buying here and that had solar water.

It was amazing, everyday beautiful hot water, until there wasn't! we had 2 or 3 cloudy days and that does affect it.  It was 300ltr tank which would normally be fine but I decided to have a big bath, 120 ltrs give or take just before the clouds came so following morning water hot but not as hot, day 2 water warm, day 3 water cold! This happened once in the 6 months so not really a problem.  I was so impressed I'm going to look into putting one in when I renovate my new home.  Good luck with everything.

Hi

We've just had lot of work done on our house,and was advised they are not worth buying,at around 800 eack.You have to get that back before it starts paying for itself.

The 80 litre water boilers are great,and very efficient,especially those with their own thermostat.

Only my opinion
