​​
One of your competitors is claiming they can heat the radiators with Solar Thermal?
​
This is not quite accurate, yes the heated water can raise the temperature of water in your radiators, but not sufficiently to heat the room. You will need the boiler to boost water temperature levels to make this work, this will negate potential savings.
