Recently it has been announced that a feed in tariff scheme under the name ‘Clean Energy Cashback’ will be introduced in the UK, starting in April 2010. Detailed proposals  have been release into what [...]

A Supergrid or Super Grid is a wide area electricity transmission network that enables large volumes of energy to be sent and traded across very long distances. Unlike normal electricity grids, supergrids can transport renewable energy (which is often unreliable with regards to generating a constant flow of electricity) more effectively. Super grid’s are also [...]

One of the most widely used techniques to save money on utility bills and reduce your carbon footprint is by using solar panels as part of a solar water [...]

 
The second type of Solar Panels are Solar thermal collectors are devices designed to collect and use the heat given off by the sun to create renewable energy. This technique of using the suns heat to heat something else in order to create renewable energy is used on a smaller domestic scale with solar water [...]

 
The term ‘Solar Panel’ refers to one of two devices that collect energy from the sun. The most commonly known and used device are called Photovoltaic Modules. These are the things that we are seeing more and more of on the rooftops of people’s houses and on rooftops of business premises. Solar Panels or Photovoltaic [...]

The term ‘Solar Panel’ refers to the two devices used for collecting energy from the sun. The first and most common of these devices are Photovoltaic Modules. These are the more commonly seen solar panels that appear on homes, buildings and on a larger scale in fields to generate electricity. Photovoltaic Panels come in a [...]
