    Hi All,

    Can anyone give advice on the Thermodynamic solar hot water system?

    We are thinking of getting one to heat our hot water for the kitchen and bathroom. Myself and teenage daughter love long showers and would like something that would last.

    What is the average price and what size water tank is the best?

    Open to other suggestions as well. We also at the same time be getting oil heating installed as well. Currently on solid fuel stove to heat the radiators.

    Thank you 😊

    Couldn't recommend the thermodynamic type but the Ariston Nuos (heat pump) or similar do look a reasonable proposition but you should also give serious consideration to installing a 300 litre twin coil hot water cylinder with a conventional solar array which will supply most of your hot water needs for ~ 7 months of the year. Some are now installing Solar PV systems which generate electric power which can be diverted to your hot water cylinder if excess is being generated, I would take a bit of professional advice before proceeding further. FYI, I have a twin coil, 150 litre cylinder with a two flat plate solar array. (only two person house occupancy).
    I will post a link to the Ariston Nuos in a minute.
