Hi,

We have just purchased a house that has solar panels installed with a vented hot water cylinder on the first floor. It's taking a lot of space from an already small main bathroom and the water pressure is very poor.

We're going to replace the vented system with an unvented cylinder in the attic that have use the solar panels.

We're in a bit of a grey area here as the plumber we have knows nothing about solar and won't touch that side of things. The solar company wouldn't give me any suggestions on the cylinder to use other than saying it has to have the solar coil/heat exchanger in the cylinder.

I see Kingspan do these type of cyclinders. Does anyone have any experience with these or with the job itself?

Thanks
