    Hi

    I am looking for some advise.
    We are starting to build a 3 bedroom house (appx. 1100 sq.feet) very shortly and we want to install solar panels on the roof. Basicially i haven't got a clue about solar energy, how it works and whats best to install etc. All we know is that we want the electricity, water heating and underfloor heating to work of it, if this is at all possible.

    If there is anybody out there who knows a bit about the whole thing i would appreciate any comments. the more i learn about it the better.

    Thanks

    Electricity and heating are worked off of two seperate types of panel.
    Photovoltaic and solar water.
    You seem to think that this will provide unlimited amounts but it will not, it is merely supplementary to your system.
    In Ireland you will have good heat generated during the summer but during the winter it would be minimal.
    You need to do your research as there are so many variables etc.

    Edit: On mobile at minute and will give a more detailed post later for you.
