HOW DO WE TAKE ADVANTAGE OF SOLAR ENERGY?

We have been harnessing solar energy from the sun for centuries, but in spite of our apparent desire, we have only been using a tiny fraction of the solar energy available.

It is only mans ingenuity, or the lack of it, that has previously limited our use of solar energy, but now, we are starting to see ways forward, with the most popular being the use of solar panels.

Different technology is used to provide different solutions:

• Solar water heating systems take the warmth from the sun to heat a fluid which in turn heats the water in your home, while...

• Photovoltaic (PV) systems take the sun’s energy and turns it directly into electricity.

Within the site, devoted to exploring solar energy systems MySolarPower will take you through the various options and examine the grants available and savings financial achievable excluding the obvious benefits to reducing a personal carbon footprint.

Solar water heating systems are usually the preferred option as they can show a return on investment in as little time as seven years.

Photovoltaic systems can be initially more expensive to purchase and install, but like all of today’s technology further development is happening all of the time.

LAST SUMMER WAS A WASHOUT - DO WE GET ENOUGH SUN FOR SOLAR ENERGY SYSTEMS?

The sun doesn’t have to be producing a heat wave to provide solar energy.

In the UK we receive enough energy from the sun annually to match the output of 1,000 power stations!

We don’t need direct sunlight for solar-powered systems to operate. Even on cloudy days they are hard at work.

Even in last year’s inclement weather the output of solar systems may not as been as high as in other years, but they will still have been producing power and cutting those bills.
