Combination v's system boiler?

Which is most efficient at providing hot water, a combination or a system boiler?

It could be argued that storing water at high temperatures over extended periods in a cylinder used heated by a system boiler would increase energy losses; however greater inefficiencies are likely to be caused by inappropriate design, poor control and usage, and inefficient installation of either system. Each system when applied appropriately has its merits. On a like for like layout, with like for like usage, there's little to choose between them.

Enquiry:
I'm looking to source a boiler for a client who would like to install a combination boiler and possible install solar at a later date. Rather than converting the combi to a system they would like a boiler that can except pre heated water from a storage cylinder installed later with the solar panels. Do you have a suitable boiler available for the British market?

Response:
Thank you for your email. None of our combination boilers are approved for use with solar. The issues of legionella control and scalding have yet to be addressed.
Regards, Technical dept.vaillant

Responce:
Thank you for your interest in Ravenheat Products. A suitable boiler for use solar panels would be our CSI120 or CSI150. With regard to legionella control and scalding these are matters that would be dealt with by your system designer.
