About Solar Energy
"Solar power is the cleanest, safest, most ecologically sound power source available. We owe it to ourselves and this planet to invest in the development of renewable solar resources," former U.S. president Jimmy Carter.
Solar thermal panels can help reduce your hot water heating bills each year that the solar panel is functional for - solar thermal panels currently have an estimated lifetime of about 25 years, as well as benefits to the environment.
Solar water heating systems use heat & energy from the sun to work alongside your conventional water heater. Solar panels, also known as collectors, can be fitted to a building's roof. They use the suns heat to warm water, or another fluid, which passes through the panel. The fluid is then fed via piping to a heat store (a hot water tank) and helps provide hot water for the building. The panels work through daylight hours, even if the sky is overcast
Solar PV (photovoltaic) uses energy from the sun to create electricity to run appliances and lighting. PV requires only daylight, not direct sunlight to generate electricity and so can still generate some power on a cloudy day. As well as cutting down energy bills the PV system never needs refuelling, emits no pollution, is silent and requires minimal maintenance.
It's a myth that solar panels won't work on a cloudy day. Solar panels can generate 25% of a households electricity even in the depths of winter and 75% in the summer.

Testimonials
We recently have completed the construction of a new home. The idea of
incorporating some sola heating system into the design appealed to us. We were in the
final stages of our systems investigation when we happened to meet Holger
Behrendsen. Instantly we were impressed with Holgers enthusiasm for the concept of
harnessing nature ... full testimonial»
I should like to express my complete satisfaction with way in which the installation of our new Solar hot water system was handled ... full testimonial» |
