Seeing your energy bills soar each winter?

Don’t be afraid to turn on your water heating

Too many Scottish citizens are struggling to stay warm during the colder months, and this is becoming an issue

Over 1.4 million people are concerned about being able to adequately heat their water during the colder months. With the freezing climate during winter, this isn’t something we want the people of Scotland to worry about. However, with rising costs of traditional energy sources such as electricity and fuel, this continues to become a growing issue, and comfort is becoming a day of the past.

That’s why it’s important to focus on renewable sources that don’t dig so deep into the pockets of each household. And with a heat pump and thermodynamic panels from Scottish Energy Saving, you can soon warm up your property’s water with fewer worries than ever before.

Solar assisted heat pumps: The ultimate alternative to heating water with renewable energy

Trust in Scottish Energy Saving to help you cut costs and save the planet at the same time

The sun does a lot more for us than give us warm, sunny days in the summer. It’s also a source of energy that can be used to heat up our property’s water, even when it’s colder in the winter. With the assistance of a heat pump with solar panels, energy is collected and stored so it’s ready and waiting for you when you need it.

Solar powered heat pumps are the perfect solution to warm up any water sources, whether it’s for your home or commercial offices. Not only are you lowering the use of fossil fuels and reducing your carbon footprint, but you’re cutting back on monthly costs too.

Embrace the warmth

Benefits of solar assisted heat pumps

There’s a reason people are starting to convert to using renewable energy sources like solar panels and heat pumps. And that’s because they come with a wide range of advantages to make the most out of:

  • Energy efficiency: These heat pumps use solar renewable energy to provide heat from one place to another. This lowers the amount of electrical energy needed to warm up your water.
  • Lower operating costs: By using less electricity or fuel in the winter or when you’re cold, you aren’t spending so much. Your monthly bills will be cut drastically, helping you save a lot of money.
  • Reduced environmental impact: Renewable energy, such as solar, contributes to lower greenhouse gas emissions. This lowers your carbon footprint and provides you with peace of mind.

By relying on Scottish Energy Saving to provide you with and install one of these pumps, you can have peace of mind that you can get through the cold winters without worrying about extortionate bills on heating water or your environmental impact.

Frequently Asked Questions

1What is a solar-assisted heat pump and how does it work?
A Solar Assisted Heat Pump (SAHP) is an innovative technology that heats water by absorbing heat from both direct sunlight and ambient air. The system consists of a big, flat evaporator panel that absorbs solar energy and ambient heat and transfers it to a fluid that flows through the heat pump. This fluid then flows via a heat exchanger, which elevates its temperature and transmits it to your hot water cylinder. This approach enables the SAHP to efficiently produce hot water even in the absence of direct sunlight.

The beauty of a SAHP is its capacity to dramatically cut carbon emissions from water heating. SAHPs produce more heat energy than they consume because they use a tiny amount of electricity to transport heat rather than generating it. This makes them an extremely efficient and environmentally beneficial alternative to standard water heating systems. Furthermore, combining a SAHP with battery storage can increase efficiency. The energy surplus created by the SAHP during sunny hours can be stored in batteries and used later, increasing energy efficiency and lowering reliance on the grid. Households that consume a lot of hot water or rely on expensive electric immersion heaters will benefit most from the cost savings given by a SAHP.

You can find more information about SAHPs in our detailed blog post
2How does a Solar Assisted Heat Pump save energy bills?
A Solar Assisted Heat Pump can significantly lower your energy expenses by harnessing free, renewable energy from the sun and the air. Switching to a SAHP can save households up to 46% on their annual heating bills, particularly if they were previously using expensive and inefficient systems such as electric immersion heaters. The system's great efficiency means it requires less electricity to generate the same amount of hot water, resulting in decreased monthly energy costs.

In addition to direct savings, reducing dependency on electricity or fossil fuels protects against fluctuations in energy prices. As energy costs grow, a system based more on renewable energy can give financial stability and predictability. Over time, the savings from lower energy bills can offset the initial installation cost, making a SAHP an excellent long-term investment for your home.
3Can a Solar Assisted Heat Pump function properly in cold or gloomy weather?
Yes, Solar Assisted Heat Pumps are intended to function efficiently even in cold or gloomy conditions. While solar panels perform best in direct sunshine, SAHP systems can capture diffuse light and ambient heat from the air. This means that they may still create heat energy on cloudy days, ensuring a consistent supply of hot water all year. The system's heat pump component improves its ability to perform in a variety of weather conditions by removing heat from its surroundings.

This capability makes SAHPs ideal for places with unpredictable weather, such as Scotland. You won't have to be concerned about a lack of hot water throughout the cooler months. Modern SAHP technology keeps the system running efficiently, ensuring regular hot water availability and lowering your dependency on traditional, weather-dependent heating techniques.
4How much does it cost to install a Solar-Assisted Heat Pump?
The cost of installing a Solar Assisted Heat Pump varies, however an average installation may cost around £6,000. Several factors determine the precise cost, including the heat pump model, the number of evaporator panels required, and the necessity for a new hot water cylinder. further expenditures may develop if further work is required, such as the installation of new pipes or scaffolding. Local installer fees vary by region, therefore location might also have an impact on pricing.

5Is a solar-assisted heat pump appropriate for my home?
There are various aspects to consider when deciding whether a Solar Assisted Heat Pump is ideal for your home. First, examine how much hot water you use. If your household consumes a lot of hot water, particularly if you currently rely on expensive heating sources such as LPG or oil, a SAHP can bring significant savings. Homes with a high hot water demand, such as those with multiple residents or who frequently use hot water for baths and showers, will benefit the most.

You should also consider whether you have enough room for installation. Evaporator panels for SAHP systems must be mounted on a roof or suitable wall, preferably in a sunny location, to maximise efficiency. A hot water cylinder is also required to store the heated water, which can be integrated into the heat pump or placed independently. Ensuring appropriate room and insulation for the cylinder will improve the system's performance. If these conditions are met, a SAHP can be a highly efficient and cost-effective option for your water heating requirements.
