There are two types of residential solar power. Solar photovoltaic energy, which produces electricity, and solar water heating. Click on the links and you will be taken to pages that explain the difference.

This web site is primarily concerned with the English speaking countries of the world. For more information on solar power in your country go to Ireland, USA, Canada, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand.

If you are looking at installing a solar water heating system but don't know how to fit it, you might find our solar energy resources plumbing section helpful.

Or if you need instructions on how to fit a solar pv system for next-to-nothing, I would highly recommend the Earth4Energy guide. For more details click here.
