My House

Many people believe that solar power is not a viable option in the UK, but on a sunny summer day parts of the UK experience levels of solar energy equal to 60 per cent of those at the equator!

Whether you would like to convert your existing system or you are building from scratch, Riomay can advise on both vented and open systems for domestic use or for a garden swimming pool. 

As a rough guide, an average household with 4 people would need one Ecotube solar panel to meet an average of 70% of its needs throughout the year. In winter, because there is less sun, this may drop to 30% whilst in summer it could be 100%.

Very large households may benefit from two panels.

We use our own fully trained installers throughout the country, and offer full after-sales care and clear information. 

We have experience of combining water and under-floor room heating to find the most efficient solution for larger panel systems and we are happy to discuss any scale of project with you.

The benefits:

  • completely reliable
  • virtually maintenance-free
  • can have a life of over 30 years
  • versatility - you can fix the Ecotube system to the wall or at any angle on the roof

We can supply and install the whole system, including pumps, vents, tank and pipework, giving you the reassurance of our expertise. On the other hand, if you are confident and technically-minded we can simply send you the panel.

Grants of £400 are available from The Low Carbon Buildings Programme, and remember - your local authority may have additional grant funding for renewable energies.
