Solar Energy Information

The solar energy information on this site is wide and varied. On this section we'll deal with just what solar power is and the different types of solar panels.



Put in the simplest terms, solar energy is energy from the sun. This energy supports virtually all life on this planet.

You use it when you hang out your laundry to dry. You probably never thought of it in this way but it is solar energy at work at its most basic.

There are 2 types of solar energy. Solar photovoltaic energy (PV) and concentrating solar water heaters that convert sunlight into energy that we can use.

Solar PV is direct, using silicon-based solar panels to convert the sunlight into electricity. You can save money by having these solar panels installed. The main reason amongst people for not doing so, is because they find the installation costs prohibitive.

However, if you have a grasp of DIY then you could install solar panels yourself and eliminate these costs. For more details click here.

Solar water heaters capture heat form the sun via collectors and use that heat for water and space heating, ventilation, cooking - especially in remote locations where there might not be electricity - and also water distillation and disinfection.

Or would you like your very own solar power system for under $200/£100 that will save you 80% on your electricity bill and help the environment? If the answer is 'YES' then click here for more information.
