Is there any Government funding available for solar heating
The Department of Trade and Industry is funding an initiative called the Low Carbon Building Programme, which entitles home owners and not-for-profit organisations to financial help with a solar system. Householders can apply for a grant of £400 regardless of system size.

Do I still need a boiler?
Solar heating on a normal domestic scale in the UK will provide around 70% of the average annual household hot water requirements. However due to hours of light becoming shorter in November and December there is less energy produced and the system will then need to use some power from the boiler.

Do I need to have a particular type of roof for solar installation?
In the UK the best orientation for solar panels is facing due south and tilted at around 35 degrees from the horizontal. However a variety of brackets and frames are available for solar systems to suit both different types of roofs eg Flat and Pitched, and types of roof tiles.
