Well we are having solar fitted here. I,ll let you know  how it goes. Didn't realise there wasn't Any!  We also had mains water fitted,didn't even realise it had been installed, we had been to fethiye and it had all been done while we were Out!  He had had a jcb up here n all sorts. We phoned him to say hadn't got any water could he help, and his reply was I haven't turned it on yet. He was here in 5 mins, checked all taps inside. Tell you, we bless the day we met this man.

Can't believe you have not had hot water in the mornings given the weather we have had this year, or rather the amount of hot sunshine hours!
Sorry, but I just would not believe what Engin says about his being the same at his home.
I would also ask Paul Cherry, as Jacqui suggested. Hopefully from him, you will get a straight answer.

Maybe we need to have yet another word.
Maybe you need another solar system fitter...?

My advice still stands.  You need someone out who knows what they are doing.

We did mention this to Engin and said we thought the tanks should be moved higher. His fitter seemed to say it wasn't possible due to the roof layout or something.

Maybe we need to have yet another word.


Stoop are you referring to Engin of Fethiye Property Services ??

I agree with Lissa Stoop our water is boiling hot from our solar panels lasts all day shower in morning and evening washing machine on loads of other stuff, even on a cloudy day we can just about get by with a quick shower each still not going completely cold from the 'sunny' days hot supply...

To be honest that's what we expected. It seems our system has been fitted wrongly in some way. Maybe the tank is too low or the panels too high - we will attempt to find out from a professional; next spring.

From my experience here in the UK with plumbers there is no such thing as a professional plumber but they will tell you they are.So  good luck with that Stoop.  :)
