Use solar power to give your electricity a boost!

 

We’ve spoken before about the benefits of switching to solar power when it comes to saving on your energy bill and helping the environment. However did you know that you can combine your current electricity system with solar power for a major boost?

Combining solar collectors (solar power panels) with a wood burning stove provides a year-round energy heating solution that’s completely renewable and environmentally friendly.

Adding a solar collector system to your current energy providing system can provide almost 60 per cent of your annual hot water needs for free. And do you want to hear something even better? This statistic increases to a whopping 80 or 90 per cent during the summer months.

So not only will you be saving money and helping the environment, you’ll also still be able to enjoy hot showers without worrying about how much money you’re washing down the drain in terms of electricity. Sounds perfect to us!
