This is the simplest solar thermal solution to install. It can cover a large proportion of a home's hot water needs.
Depending on the booster system used, solar water heaters reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 45% to over 70% compared with gas-fired water heaters.
It also cuts hot water costs by a factor of 2 or even 3 compared with an electric, gas or oil-fired system.
To find out more about the technology, how it works and installation costs, see our guide "Adopting solar thermal energy".
