Installing a solar thermal system will reduce your bills and help protect the environment. Installing as part of the Let’s Go Solar scheme will help you access the technology for a greatly reduced price and then provide on-going income through government incentives.

If you are new to green energy or are looking to upgrade an older solar thermal system this is an opportunity not to be missed.
