We had some really great threads last year, with the following four nominated for the Thread of the Year award in this January's Environment Site Awards ceremony.

I think they're great and give a real sense of what the forum is capable of, so if you're looking for a reason to join, check these out.

Solar Energy Forum I have no doubt that we will be successful in harnessing the sun's energy.... If sunbeams were weapons of war, we would have had solar energy centuries ago. ~Sir George Porter

Default Hot water in Spain
Hi
I want to ask advice on water-bearing (rather than PV) panels, so I hope I'm in the right place here

About to move to a house in Spain that has no hot water system and tempted to use solar water panels (patch slopes and faces south )

Can I get away with a thermosyphon system or will I need to install a (probably PV-powered) pump? Anyone have any sources of info?

TIA

I remember there was a member on here from Spain and he mentioned how popular solar power was in Spain. I think they had their own version of the 'Million Solar Roof' thing they've got in California.

This thread talks about it a bit more. I think The Dreamer lives in Spain still.
