This requires 3-4 m² space on the roof facing from the east to the west through south.

Your Boiler should be Compatible: A solar heating system cannot run properly without a compatible boiler. The majority of standard boilers and hot water cylinders would do the job.
The Benefits: Round the year hot water as the system runs throughout the whole year, reduction on your energy bills since you pay nothing for sunlight and finally you will be paying your duty to mother earth as this “green” system does not pollute with carbon dioxide the atmosphere.
