UK Cylinders is the UK’s largest manufacturer of heat pump cylinders and a leading supplier of unvented hot water solutions.
Based across three Yorkshire facilities and operating under ISO 9001 quality standards, they deliver a consistent, reliable supply nationwide.
They manufacture unvented hot water cylinders for both traditional and renewable systems, supplying social housing providers, housebuilders, merchants, and installers across the UK.
Marlec Engineering, founded in 1978 in Rutland, is the UK’s longest-established renewable energy manufacturer.
We pioneered the Rutland Windcharger and have supported solar PV since the 1980’s, delivering 100,000+ installations worldwide.
Today, we design smart energy solutions like the Solar iBoost+, which turns surplus solar energy into “free” hot water, plus the iBoost Buddy and Heat Pump Interface, helping homes make the most of clean energy.
What does the Solar iBoost+ do?

The Solar iBoost+ is a Solar Power diverter that diverts surplus solar energy into your hot water cylinder, turning unused solar power into “free” hot water.
It helps reduce energy bills and makes the most of your home’s solar generation.
What does the HPI do?

The Solar iBoost Heat Pump Interface (HPI) enables solar diversion when using an air source heat pump for hot water. It allows the heat pump and Solar iBoost + to work independently while safely sharing the immersion, with smart switching for seamless control.
How do they work together with the cylinders?
UK Cylinders’ PV Priority Heat Pump cylinders are factory-fitted and pre-wired with the Solar iBoost+ and Heat Pump Interface to maximise “free” hot water from solar PV, enabling diversion to work independently, efficiently, and without system conflict.
Just add a heat pump. We’ll help take care of the rest.
