Hello

My solar thermal system appears to be leaking fluid (pics attached). Could anyone give me an indication of what the issue is likely to be and the potential cost to rectify?

The system was installed in May 2021 and has a flat plate panel on the roof. It works very well generally and between March to October I do not need to use the boiler for the hot water.

The other factor that I am considering is whether to have this removed and replaced for solar PV.

Tbh only option is to get a solar thermal company out to repair and flush the old liquid out and re mix a new batch

Ideal Logic 24, Previous problem was that the hot water was only cold or barely warm if the heating was in use. If heating was off and boiler cold then would get hot water most of the time. Changing the flow cartridge about 2 years ago (when I moved in) solved this problem enough to suffer it as...
