After having many different firms in about installing solar evcuated tubes Ive come to the conslusion that they are all out to make a fast buck, however they all say that heating radiators cost a lot less than heating the water. I can see some logic to this as radiators are on less in summer but hot water is used throughout all seasons. They are charging about £8.000 I have been told that if you pay over £4.500 you have been done..its all very confusing for me, can anyone shed some light on this for me?

bleh, is efficiency the only thing people are interested in? it’s not about efficiency, it’s about cost. unless you can get more power for less money, who cares.
