Solar Heating

Cummins & Ryan supply and install solar hot water systems for domestic and commercial applications.

Solar hot water systems will typically heat about half the average household's annual hot water requirements, thereby saving about one tonne of C02 per year.

Most of the benefit is in the summer months when there is the maximum solar gain, although the system does not require direct sunshine to operate as long as the sky is bright. Solar hot water systems work very well in conjunction with biomass heating systems

Solar Energy

The Sun is a very powerful source of energy – and its free. Solar panels are an ideal way to harness this energy and use this freely available resource to heat your domestic hot water. With predictions that energy costs will more than double in the next ten years, now is the time to install a solar panel, thereby reducing your energy costs and your dependence on fossil fuels. Grants are available from the Irish government to support solar panel installations.
