i got the jist of how it works but anyone know how much it costs to install?

I've been imagining something like this for a few years now for a house we use mostly in summer so I'm really interested to know more about costs.

i've done some googling since posting and it seems that a one panel install that gives you 24/7 hot water costs around £4500...a four panel system that can also run central heating is around £10k... ... - .- -.

Thanks Stan,

That price doesn't sound too bad and presumably minimum electricity needed for the compressor/pump.

Do you have a link, either in the post or PM please?

Thanks

David

looks like loads of companys are doing this David and i have no links as yet...info is a bit sparse on pricing as nearly all companys require you to contact them for a price.. ... - .- -.

These are pretty standard in Australia Stan.

thanks Greg...

i already have solar panels which have paid for themselves so i'm looking for the next 'big thing'... ... - .- -.

Wow - solar panels paid for? I did a quick check 2 yr ago and found the payback time was 10-12 years so I didn't think worth it. Can you give any more details on your set up?

And have a look at some australian sites. They are as you can imagine all over solar. Both for power and hot water.

Very smart move there Stan.

Ok 3 questions:
How much did that all cost?
And how long to pay back?
How long do you get that tariff for?

cost £10500, and we're now £700 in the black...plus the free electric we've had since install..tariff is for 25 years from install..

i believe the thermodynamic stuff also gets a tariff refund [14p per unit?].. ... - .- -.
