i am moving into a new house and there is a solar panel and a condenser boiler!
the solar pannel only heats the water but i thought that was the point of having a condenser boiler?
i thought condenser boilers heated up the water as you turned on the tap?
so how does the solar panel do anything?
shouldn’t the solar panel just generate electricity in general, not just restricted to the hot water?

You will probably find that the solar panel only heats the water, you need quite a big solar panel set to work the electricity, a condensing boiler means the boiler is ‘a’ rated for efficiency because of the way it uses fuel, but combination, regular or system boilers are all different, but all condense, you are confusing condensing boiler with combination boiler. The solar panel heats the water, the boiler backs it up if the water is not hot enough, it is a good, efficient and expensive system.
Yes, the solar panel should also generate electricty. This sounds like a modern and very efficient home. Kudos to you for thinking so green. Condenser boilers are great, they are energy efficient as they only heat water when you need it.
