Title: warm water via gasoil/solar system
Post by dijs5152 on Jul 20^th, 2022 at 6:30pm

I have the following question:
Water in my house is heated by a boiler on gasoil. Is it possible to heat the water when the sun is shining by a kind of solarsystem and switch over in the winter when nessessary to gasoil heating ?

Advice would be appreciated.

Absolutely yes - one of the most efficient uses of sun power there is. I've had solar water for 17 years - hot water pretty much from mid february to mid november at zero (or pretty much zero) cost.

What boiler do you have - is it a stored hot water system with a tank or instantaneous?

I can't find any information on the boiler but it looks like Chromagen do a lot of solar compatible equipment.
Can you post a photo - do you have any documentation?
From what you say about the serpentine it sounds like it's an accumulator - do you run it from electric?
