Hello everybody,
I am in the process of buying a house that has solar water heaters on the roof. It is west facing and therefore has 2 collectors. I estimate the installation is about 10years old.
Firstly is there a service that I can get carried out on this?
I wired one of these up for my AM2 exam but can't remember the process of how they work.
Am I right in thinking that the solar heater system works independently of the h/w system.
If the collector temp > tank temp it runs the pump to heat the tank water (up to the designated tank temperature).
If you use the boiler for h/w it looks for the temperature of the tank and uses boiler to heat the water, regardless of what the solar system is doing?
The property is a 3 bed semi and I am going to rewire it and will get new c/h installed. The reason I ask these questions is so I can incorporate the wiring whilst I carry out the rewire. I can't remember what the setup but with either be Y or S plan.
Thanks kindly,
Chris Lee.
