A Solar Hot Water system that thinks it’s a Boiler…. Boston Spa, UK

At 9:19am in the morning, a basic Surface Power solar hot water system (2.85sqm), (approx the same aperture size as 1 standard flat plate collector) is ALREADY heating water at 80C constant flow, that’s 20C degrees HIGHER than the homes oil boiler (standard boiler output 60C) AND all for FREE….

IMAGINE having a solar system that THINKS IT’S a BOILER and it was installed in your house today…now imagine that this system was installed to replace a 2 year old 6sqm Flat Plate Solar Hot Water System.

THIS new installation (4 months old) is saving significant money on Oil every year and over the life of the system will save tens of thousands of pounds on fuel savings.

The system was installed by Subsidised Solar Solutions, 01423 521454, (www.subsidisedsolar.com) headquartered in Yorkshire,

MD, Mark Roberts stated:

“The performance of this replacement system is quite staggering, after installing solar hot water for years, we have never seen any other system come even close to this type of performance, this is real and measurable energy performance and our solar customers are recommending us all over the place. This customer asked us to remove a 2 year old 6sqm flat plate solar hot water system which the customer felt never provided any real benefit (not installed by us). We installed a much smaller Surface Power system of 2.85 sqm and wow, what a difference. Surface Power guaranteed us online evidence of the performance 24/7 and it does exactly what it says on the tin with bells attached. The customer is simply stunned.”

“It really is time for solar hot water manufacturers to start guaranteeing the output of their systems. We as the installer are always blamed when they don’t live up to the hype. Thankfully, we don’t have to worry about that anymore.”

You can watch this system (and others) LIVE 24/7 by going to www.surfacepower.com/live.html

EVEN 2 HOURS LATER, STILL ABOVE 80C FLOW RATE. (ONLY 2.85 SQM OF Collector)

Create large amounts of FREE hot water at high temperature without any sunshine – VIDEO

Customer System – June 12th. (homemade video)

Wouldn’t it be great to make large amounts of hot water using ONLY daylight. You then use this energy in your central heating system or hot water cylinder for FREE. Surface Power propriatary patented technology is the first light based solar hot water system technology.

Surface Power only uses light NOT sun to make its energy. This is why we out perform everyone else and why we are the only manufacturer willing to prove it online LIVE 24/7 via our customers.

How many solar thermal manufacturers are brave enough to provide you with LIVE feeds from their customers so you can see real performance before you buy.

HAVE A LOOK…….100% hot water achieved with miserable weather…….

An hour later, still climbing………

83.3C (182F) to 100.8C (213F) from 10:10am to 12:50pm (2 hours,40 mins)…..solar system in BOILER MODE

PROOF, NOT PROMISES….

 18 Kwhrs (61,418 BTU’s) of ENERGY created for FREE from light in less than 3 hours……

That’s the same amount of hot water you would get from leaving your 3KW electric immersion element on for more than 6 hours….THIS SOLAR SYSTEM IS PRODUCING HOT WATER TWICE AS FAST AS A 3KW ELECTRIC IMMERSION.

See how a Surface Power SP501 PRO performs during a perfect storm

Today is June 8th, a prolonged storm with YELLOW alerts & craft warnings: Air Temp – 12C ( 53F )

BBC News: Rain, accompanied by a strong to gale force westerly wind, is expected to be heavy and persistent today across western and southern parts. The public should be aware of large amounts of surface spray on roads and some areas of minor flooding.

Devon News: Weather warning issued as 70mph winds batter Devon

BBC News: Some exposed coastal areas may see gusts in excess of 70 mph. Spells of heavy rain are also forecast. Such strong winds, in combination with the heavy rain, will make for difficult and dangerous travelling conditions.

RTE News: Persistent and locally heavy or thundery rain will continue this afternoon over much of Connacht, South Ulster and Leinster, though the rain will gradually ease off in South Connacht and Southwest Leinster later this evening, Weather Warning in effect, Gale Warning in effect, Small Craft Warning in effect.  

VIDEO: Here’s what the solar hot water system was doing:

Here is the screen shot of the system at 12:39pm during the storm. 33.1 C (91.5F) while raining…

 Here is the screen shot of the system at 12:53pm during the storm. 33.7 C (92.6F) while raining…STILL INCREASING IN TEMP

 Here is the screen shot of the system at 13:17pm during the storm. 34 C (93.2F) while raining…STILL INCREASING IN TEMP

 Here is the screen shot of the system at 13:20pm during the storm. 34.1 C (93.3F) while raining…STILL INCREASING IN TEMP

Here is the screen shot of the system at 13:46pm during the storm. 34.9 C (94.8F) while raining…STILL INCREASING IN TEMP 

Here is the screen shot of the system at 13:58pm during the storm. 35.1 C (95.1F) while raining…STILL INCREASING IN TEMP

OVER 1 HOUR 20 MINS During the height of a storm, this Surface Power SP501 stayed in production and produced over 3 kWhrs of energy during that period. This system is an SP501 PRO, even a storm can’t stop it producing Free Hot Water.

And this video to show the weather at the end of the hour and 20 mins.

SURFACE POWER….   REAL ENERGY, REAL PROOF….


The new SEAI Solar Hot Water Grant structure fully explained – Ireland

Solar Grant Rules relaxed to allow more home owners qualify…..

DUE TO THE RECENT RESTRUCTURING OF THE IRISH SOLAR HOT WATER GRANT SCHEME: DETAILS BELOW.

@@@@@@@ Surface Power – GRANT PRODUCT CODE – SEI-ST-399-T  @@@@@@@@

If you want to consider getting the €850 Irish Government Solar CASH Grant, then here are the details. (inc €50 BER)

First; you need to work out what size your house is: (note: 100 sqm = 1079 sqft)

Floor Area of house                                                                  Solar Contribution required for grant

0-171 sqm            —–>                                                                          10 kWhr/m2

171-200 sqm       —–>                                                                           At least 1,700 kWhrs/year

201-250 sqm       —–>                                                                           At least 1,850 kWhrs/year
