The Government predicts that the UK solar industry will grow from 7,000 to 50,000 employees in the next 5 years.
As more families feel the pinch of 70% energy price rises*, many are considering alternative energy sources such as solar heating. Solar energy can provide up to 50% of a families’ annual hot water requirements (www.greenenergy.org.uk)
