solar panel distance from cylinder problem

[selfbuild99]

Our house roof is west facing and our garage is south facing, but our plumber has told us because it is about 30ft from our garage to our cylinder, that the solars are not really do-able. It would be inefficient to install them with this distance. Has anybody got similar experience, or have solars with this distance. This is very disappointing as we wanted to have these. Tks

How about having panels on both east and west facing roof of house? I was told that panels on both sides are almost as good as south facing ones.

Try looking at pre insulated pipe from heat merchants or other supplier

Difficulty doing sharp bends with this product but might solve your problem
