Solar thermal unit prices

How much do solar thermal panels cost?

Installing a two or three panel solar thermal system that would supply an average 200 to 300 litre cylinder will cost around £4,000 to £7,000.

How much does a solar thermal system cost in the UK?

The cost of installing a solar thermal system in the UK can vary significantly depending on several factors, such as the system size, complexity, and location. On average, the initial investment for a domestic solar thermal system ranges from £3,000 to £8,000.

How much does a solar thermal quote cost?

Your own solar thermal quote will depend on the size of solar system you need and the property it’s being installed into, but at present the scale is likely to run somewhere between £4,000 and £8,000 (including the twin-coil cylinder). Solar collectors come in two main types: flat panel or, as shown in this illustration, evacuated tubes.

How much do solar panels cost?

The cost of solar panels can vary according to the complexity of the pipe runs and roofing materials, and you would also expect to be at the higher end of that scale if using evacuated tubes. You'll also need to factor in the cost of a twin coil hot water cylinder, which cost from £600 to just under £2,000, depending on the size and specification.

How much does a solar water heating system cost?

It is a completely renewable form of energy hence reducing your carbon footprints. The average cost of a standard solar water heating system is around £3,000 to £5,000. The cost is usually dependent on the type of system you choose to install i.e. evacuated tube or flat plate collectors.

What is a solar thermal system?

A solar thermal system (or solar water heating system) uses roof-mounted solar thermal panels (or collectors) that harness the sun’s energy to heat your water. In some cases where there is not enough roof space, the panels can be mounted on a wall or at ground level.
