Thanks everyone for all of your thoughts!!!!!!! I think for now i'll fit a solar ready combi 1st then maybe i'll get round to retro fitting the solar smart system. One step at a time.!! :)

:D :D Thanks Balenza & gas4you, I'll look in to those ideas and think some more about it. Ooooh, i think i've got an oventrop mixer in the garage, but no connection pieces!!(flange type)I wounder what the difference is between this mixer & th solar valve?

Interesting!!! What do you recon to my chances of putting together a 'hybrid' solar system?? How about the pressurised panel of say valliant & the 'solar valve'(which diverts the water to either the combi or straight to the taps) of alpha's solar smart. :?

The h/w cly is only 91litres, so about 1m tall, & could fit nicely in the corner of my loft. I've not heard about the drain back unit being noisy & don'n they all have these units anyway???? The one thing that is on my mind is that the solar panels have to be 'flush' fitted with the tiles on...

Has anybody fitted an Alpha solar smart system before? I'm thinking of upgrading my old combi to a condensing & adding their solar hot water system along side it. Any thoughts!!!!!!!!?
