Solar thermal by the sea at the start of the Jurassic Coast

Exmouth sits where the River Exe meets the sea and marks the western end of the Jurassic Coast. The town has about a mile of sea front. Salt air from the estuary and the sea affects roof equipment over time.

On a solar thermal system, the parts most exposed are the collector frame, its fixings and the pipe insulation. Salt and sun can corrode metal brackets and break down insulation. Once insulation fails, pipes lose heat on the way to your cylinder.

Your water matters too. In East Devon, South West Water draws supply from deep boreholes, and that water is slightly or moderately hard. That means some limescale can still build up on the cylinder coil.

When we service a system, we check the collector, fixings and insulation, test the glycol and pressure, and look at how well the coil passes heat into your water.
