[QUOTE="Doc Hudson, post: 350533, member: 1607"] As a combi boiler is normally hot water taps supplied from street water pressure same as cold taps and tank stored hot water, (as the solar thermal would create), would be gravity fed pressure, I'm not sure how you are going to get this dual pressure source to your hot taps. As with all forms of solar energy you have to consider how much of the energy you generate can you use, can any surplus be stored for later or can you can gain revenue from any surplus. Every home is an individual case that needs to evaluate the real requirements of what they are actually consuming first of all. I don't think many of these sales reps can do that sort of evaluation. They just have sample figures that may only apply to a select percentage of the population. Doc H. [/QUOTE]
