Solar hot water systems use the sun to heat hot water. They work allyear round (though in winter you'll need a boiler or immersion heater to
top up the heat), cut your energy bills and your carbon footprint. However, they typically cost £2000-£5000 to install and it can be difficult as an individual to know where to start.
What's the idea?
In this project, a group of West Kirby residents will negotiate a discount
on bulk purchase & installation of hot water systems in the town.
How will it work?
Following the example set by TT Totnes, we'll organise several solar
installers to quote on three properties that represent the different
challenges that a solar installer will face, giving us a representative
sample pricing structure. We will then chose the the best value, and
negotiate a discount. Individuals in the scheme will get them around to quote and install a system. We'll work with the Energy Savings Trust to help guide you through the grant application process.
Interested?
We're currently asking anyone who wants to know more to register so we can gauge interest. We're not asking for any firm commitment yet. There will be a mailing later in the summer detailing the requirements that your property will need to meet in order to be suitable. Anyone interested should email their details to ttwk.energy@gmail.com
