    solar hot water understood by can it central heat too?

    In a word no, it wouldn't conduct the heat in the water quick enough to transfer throughout the rad pipework and rads to heat the rooms mainly to do with heat loss and if you could the solar panels would have to be huge, hence ground source and air to heat.
