Solar Thermal Panels Installation & Maintenance in London
Harness the power of the sun to heat your water efficiently and sustainably with solar thermal panels installed by A&C Heating and Plumbing Ltd. We provide professional design, installation, and maintenance services for residential and commercial solar thermal systems across London.
Whether you want to reduce your carbon footprint, lower your energy bills, or meet renewable energy standards, our certified engineers can guide you through every step of the process.
☀️ What Are Solar Thermal Panels?
Solar thermal panels (also known as solar collectors) use the sun’s energy to heat water that is stored in a hot water cylinder. They are one of the most cost-effective renewable technologies and work in tandem with your existing boiler or immersion heater.
Types of systems we install:
- Flat plate collectors (roof-mounted or integrated)
- Evacuated tube collectors (higher efficiency)
⚡ Benefits of Solar Thermal Panels
- ✅ Reduce your gas or electricity bills
- ✅ Cut your home’s carbon emissions
- ✅ Eligible for government grants (e.g. ECO4)
- ✅ Low-maintenance and long-lasting (20+ years lifespan)
- ✅ Ideal for homes with high hot water demand
🏡 How Solar Thermal Works
- Collectors absorb solar energy
- A heat transfer fluid circulates through pipes
- Heated fluid moves to the hot water cylinder via a coil
- The boiler or immersion heater tops up if needed
Systems are typically most efficient from March to October in the UK, and can contribute to 60–70% of your annual hot water needs.
🚪 Installation Process
- Free site survey & solar potential analysis
- System design tailored to your roof, cylinder & usage
- Roof-mounting or integration with minimal disruption
- Testing, commissioning & handover
- Optional monitoring systems & smart controls
Installations typically take 1–2 days depending on access and system complexity.
⚖️ Maintenance & Servicing
While solar thermal systems are low maintenance, we recommend an annual check-up to:
- Inspect seals and pipework
- Check fluid levels and pressure
- Clean collectors if needed
- Ensure pump, sensors & controller function properly
We offer affordable servicing packages across London.
