WELCOME TO SOLAR-INC.

We are Bpec certified Solar hot water installers, based in Penrith, Cumbria.

We at solar-inc have an ethos which is to give a first class service, first class work, first class equipment - to make a profit, but, not to profiteer. We prefer to fit solar hot water systems using Evacuated Tubes, which are 93% efficient and more efficient than solar panels, with  prices from around £2500 for a 3 bedroomed house. We have fitted solar hot water systems in Penrith, Carlisle and Kendal.  

In 2008 Gas, Electricity and Oil prices increased dramatically, previously the average household utility bill was £1000, then with the increase those bills would be around £1100 - £1150, and they are likely to increase in 2009 too.   

Do you know that about 70% of your current utility bill is due to heating your hot water? on an average household that would be £770.00. So even if a solar hot water system could save up to 50% off this amount the savings would be £385.00 and with solar hot water systems last 20 - 30 years the savings are huge and you can help to save the planet too! It really is a win win situation.

After the initial cost you will have free hot water for 20-30 years with no/little maintenance.

The government are implementing a reduction in council tax of upto 30% for houses with lower carbon foot prints and a reduction on stamp duty?

If every house and business had solar panels or evacuated tubes maybe we wouldn't need as many wind farms as the large utility companies are proposing, don't get me wrong the green in me likes the idea of free, enviromentally friendly energy, but it is not free to us, the utility companies are still going to charge us for it.

Our ethos is to keep the price down to make it more attractive to home owners.

To fit the best system to suit your families requirements and your home. 

We are an independant company so we can source the latest solar panels, solar evacuated tubes and cylinders from many different solar manufacturers and suppliers.

At Solar-Inc we would like to see every house in the UK, but especially Cumbria, with Solar panels or evacuated tubes on, but we want you to have the right system for you and for it not to cost the earth. 

We hope to help you through the maze of systems and jargon to find the best solar hot water system for you, your family and your home.
