world oil stocks are falling
– 2005 = 90/10
– 2015 = 10/90
• Supplies controlled by unstable countries
– Russia stance January 2009
– LNG container piracy

• Dept of Energy & Climate Change says there will
be a 10-fold increase in renewables by 2020
• Carrot
– Grants
• Low Carbon Buildings Programme
• Local authority e.g. Gloucs/S Gloucs/Stroud
– VAT at only 5%
• Stick
– Energy Performance Certificates
– Planning forcing renewable energy for new build
• Code for Sustainable Homes

Planning Permission
Solar hot water collectors become
Permitted Development from 6th April
2008…..
……. i.e. no planning permission is
required
if the property is not a listed building or is
not in a conservation area
www.eco2solar.co.uk
Grants
• Low Carbon Buildings Programme
– www.lowcarbonbuildings.org
– Fast approval process
– Eco2Solar take away hassle
– £400 for solar heating
• Local authority grants up to £1000
• Other sources?

Why Solar?
• Enough energy is absorbed by the earth
every 30 minutes to power the entire
planet for a year
• UK - 60% as much solar radiation as
equator & similar to Spain
• Easiest to fit to new or existing buildings

Indirect pressurised
solar system with twin
coil solar cylinder
www.eco2solar.co.uk
Indirect solar heating
system to swimming
pool using existing
filtration plant
www.eco2solar.co.uk
Eco2solar Evacuated
Tube Collectors
• 10 year guarantee
• High quality - made in Germany
• World class performance - up to 888 kWh per annum
(average 500kWh pa)
• Versatility - the Ecotube can go flat on roofs and walls,
and the absorber plate angled on installation
• High transmittance glass virtually transparent to solar
energy
• Super-efficient selective coating on the absorber plate to
maximise the solar energy absorbed
• Minimal heat loss due to “thermos” effect

“Brilliant! Our solar
panel is doing
everything we
expected of it and
more!
We have used no
gas for water
heating in our
house since May
and have recently
had, for the first
time ever, a
quarterly gas bill
for £00.00.”
