Ball park cost for installing Solar HW

[jsavage]

I wonder if anyone here could comment on what a reasonable cost would be for installing a 12 tube Solar HW panel on a sloping roof and an 120 litre pressurised hot water cylinder. This is for an existing combo condensing boiler which does not already have a cylinder.

Thanks,

James

I'd supply and fit inc vat for between 3-4k

Waste of money. It will never pay for itself.
Spend it on PV electric rather than solar hot water.

Wait the price will come down and maybe the government will
start giving them away in an effort to meet it's ludicrous co2
targets.

Thermal with the fit payment from oct will outperform pv

my average £2500-3500

Mr Savage, what function do you expect your 120 li cylinder will have?

Why only 120 litres? Is it for just one person?

I gather it's cos it's a Combi, you'll need a mixing valve. Caleffi do one not cheap though few hundred quid. Solar and combos work very very well

Ah biggest issue though make sure your boiler can take per heated water, a lot dont
