If I fit Solar Panels to my roof…?
will I get enough energy to heat my whole four bedroom house and water. Or will I still have to rely on a gas supplier?
First of all you would need to ensure your house is well insulated (most modern houses arent well insulated and energy efficient)
Second you would need to look at how much water you use and how many hours of heating you want, and to what temperature too.
Third would be to research the type of panels available – places like the Centre for Alternative Technology (CAT) in Machynlleth, Wales, Uk have much info, also Permaculture Magazine has advertisers in there and both may offer courses on designing and building your own too.
Fourth would be to get various people to come out and do an assessment and give you a quote.
It wont necessarily work out cheaper, but at least you will know you arent adding to the problems of the planet by making this effort.
By adding an extra layer of clothing, extra thick curtains at doors and windows, extra insulation in your loft etc you will reduce the amount of energy you need to heat your home and water.
