Solar Thermal Hot Water Systems

Many Valencia buildings have a solar thermal collector on the roof supplying part of their domestic hot water, as required for new and renovated buildings under Spanish building regulations. We handle the plumbing side — connecting the solar circuit to your existing hot water system, and servicing or repairing solar thermal plumbing that's already in place.

What Is Solar Thermal Water Heating Plumbing?

Solar thermal hot water systems use roof-mounted collectors to preheat domestic hot water using sunlight, before it reaches a conventional water heater or boiler for any extra heating that's needed. Our work is the plumbing side of that system: connecting the solar circuit's pipework to your existing hot water setup, fitting the components that make the two systems work together safely, and maintaining or repairing that plumbing once a solar installation is already in place. We don't design or mount the solar collectors themselves — we handle the pipework, valves and connections that link them to your home's water supply.

  • Connecting a solar thermal circuit to an existing water heater or boiler
  • Fitting the mixing and non-return valves a solar circuit needs
  • Pipework for the solar collector loop, indoors and at the roof connection
  • Servicing existing solar thermal plumbing
  • Repairing leaks and faults in the solar hot water circuit
  • Diagnosing why a solar system isn't delivering hot water as expected

Getting the Connection Right,
Not Just Fitted

Solar thermal plumbing depends on getting the connection to your existing hot water system right — get it wrong and you lose the benefit of the solar collector altogether, even if the panel itself is working fine.

Valencia FAQ

Do you install solar thermal plumbing in Valencia?

Yes. We handle the plumbing connections for solar thermal hot water systems in Valencia, connecting the solar circuit to your existing water heater or boiler.

+

Do you install the solar panels themselves?

No. We handle the plumbing and pipework that connects a solar thermal collector to your hot water system, not the collector or its mounting on the roof.

+

Why do some Valencia buildings have solar water heating?

Spanish building regulations have required a solar thermal contribution to domestic hot water in many new and renovated buildings for years, which is why solar collectors are common on Valencia rooftops.

+

Can you repair an existing solar thermal system that's stopped working?

Yes. We diagnose and repair faults in the plumbing side of solar thermal systems, including leaks, faulty valves and reduced hot water output.

+

Do I still need a water heater or boiler if I have solar?

Usually yes. Solar collectors preheat the water, and a conventional water heater or boiler tops up the temperature when sunlight isn't enough, so the two systems work together.

+

Will I get a price before any work starts?

Yes. Once we've assessed your roof space, hot water needs and existing system, we provide a written quote before any installation work starts, rather than charging by the hour.

+

Do you work with landlords and rental properties?

Yes, we're experienced working with landlords and property managers on solar thermal installation, servicing and repairs.
