Solar panels sound like a good idea if you have a traditional boiler and water tank system, because you can store the solar heated water.
BUT I would like to know if you can use a solar panel with a combi boiler? The type that only fires up, on demand when you turn on a tap?
In effect you are preheating the mains water before it gors into the boiler. Is this wise? Safe? cost efficient?

This is a question for the solar panel manufacturer. Combi water flow is quite fast. Maybe not the optimum speed to pick up solar heat. Also the water would be at mains pressure which again may not suit the panel. Regarding input temperature to the boiler, I can’t see a problem there.
