Bob T Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Has anyone fitted this in the Dordogne area? I am interested but would like others experiences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 We are in the north of the Lot / south of Cantal.We looked at having solar water heating installed and had 2 quotes from qualified installers.One installer said we were not facing south enough (we are facing SSW), the other was very enthusiastic, saying we had an even better position than his house had! Go figure...!We decided against doing anything until such time as the new-ish electric water heater (ballon) packed up, as it would have to be replaced with a mixed one.We also considered that, even taking all the grants + rebates into consideration, the initial financial outlay was too high for our current budget.More details available if you want them...

adrianpmills Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 We have installed solar water heating (panels in place - water cylinder will be connnected soon) = local french installer used. We are in Haute Vienne. Found cost after grants to be reasonable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob T Posted October 15, 2006 Author Share Posted October 15, 2006 Sound inrteresting. What do you mean about grants? My French tax form says that I have no tax to pay as I have a military pension and it is too small to be taxed here. Is the grant tax deductable or is it taken off the price of the installation. There will be no problem with the roof as it is south facing on a south facing hill. Do you have supplier/installer details? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrianpmills Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Installer is Ecodesign of Ambazac - they would cover your area. Contact is David Moutaud - Please mention me if you call him. I'm seeing him in a couple of weeks - I'll pass him your details of you wish.http://www.ecodesignsolme.com/We got 35% grant from ANAH, Euros 600 from ADEME and will claim the tax rebate. You will be entitled to the tax rebate - they reimburse by cheque if you have no tax liability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob T Posted October 15, 2006 Author Share Posted October 15, 2006 Looks good, does he also supply the evacuated tube panels? I cannot see from his web page. Do you know roughly what his prices are like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrianpmills Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Sent you a PM - don't know if you saw it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob T Posted October 20, 2006 Author Share Posted October 20, 2006 Yes, Got the PM thanks. The only thing that would put me off is that the panels need to be the latest technology evacuated tube type. If only I could find an installer/supplier in this area I would go for it. Thanks for the info though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
