In winter it is on for maximum 1.5 hrs a day spread into 3 slots. In summer it is on 3/4 of an hour a day. Enough for showers, and washing pots each day. I find it hard to believe the cost of supplying and installing solar power for water, is cost effective, compared to what many home owners actually use, unless u have the hot tap on far more than average. For comparison though, I would be interested in knowing how much a system costs, if any one can offer a figure they have paid.

Hi daz, just 2 of us normally and presently we only have the boiler on during the cheaper day time electric supply from Iberdrola and ample water to be honest. it is only because the boiler needs replacing that i have thought about solar. Prob just replace like with like.
