Does anyone have any personal experience of companies who could install solar panels for the purposes of heating a house (both radiators and water) in the Swiss Romande area? I've noticed more and more panel installations on rooves around Vaud and Geneva and would like to have an idea of just how effective these really are.
Thanks.

Rich,
Go to Hornbach - they have a 500 liter hot water solar/electric installation that will give you an idea of the base cost of such an adventure (about CHF 3'500). Then see what the installation of the system will cost - if your house is already standing, there will some drilling to do in the walls/roof inside floors.
Unfortunately in CH this kind of work is usually too expensive for such a system to be "rentable" but if you could do it yourself, Bingo !!
Heating a house will probably not work as there are too many panels to install + the void of night-time heating.
Good luck !
