The Centre for Alternative Technology is to promote Eco-building at the Homebuilding and Renovation show.
On a southerly roof, solar energy can provide 50-60% of a household's hot water each year.
The Centre for Alternative Technology (CAT) offers free advice for people who are considering going solar.
Charlotte Cosserat, Information Officer at CAT suggests: "Get a couple of quotes for suppliers.
Some companies do a fairly hard sell, don't sign there and then.
It's worth consulting CAT's booklet, Tapping the Sun for independent guidance.
Install it now, over the winter so you're up and running in time for summer!" You can access CAT's free information service and find out more about Clear Skies grants by calling 01654 705989, or emailing info@cat.org.uk.
Tapping the Sun can be ordered directly from CAT's website, www.cat.org.uk.
