@Trw144 has a ST system installed so maybe can provide some facts / feedback ;)

 

I would love to provide feedback, but I have nt analysed my heating and hot water consumption yet! Yes, my gas bills have been minimal in the summer so my solar thermal is doing a very large proportion of  the hot water (2 adults 2 children), and three solar panels facing exactly due south. For me it was no brainier - I could get free equipment and so only had to pay for fitting, and it gave me enough sap points to have mains gas as my heating option instead of needing ashp. The install is mcs registered so I get paid £600 a year for it (for 7 years). When I get some more time I will start data logging cylinder temperatures, panel temperatures, stagnation etc etc.

 

I will probably add solar pv and battery storage at some point (when the costs come down some more) - I ve been quoted £10k for a powerwall and pv install but I don't see the return to justify this at present.
