In Autumn 2007 Glow-worm, an experienced home heating systems developer, will launch its new Clearly Solar range - an easy to use, high performance solar thermal system that can reduce the cost of heating domestic water.

Typically, solar will provide 50-60% of the homeowner’s annual domestic hot water needs. In the summer this can be as high as 100%, meaning the boiler will never have to fire up and it won’t be necessary to use any gas, which helps save money on gas bills.

Solar thermal just needs diffused light to operate, so even when the sun isn't shining it is still possible to generate energy to heat domestic hot water. Clearly Solar systems are made up of a simple 1, 2 or 3 panel solar pack and a twin coil cylinder, reveals the company’s press release. This allows for the creation of a basic solar hot water system.
