The growth of solar energy has been vast, with an increased array of technology being added to homes and offices.
Individuals and businesses are veering towards ‘clean energy’, and are making a stand at the well-reported issue we currently face.
Solar energy is currently being created through three primary technologies:
- Photovoltaic (PV) – this process directly converts light to electricity.
- Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) – this uses heat from the sun, known as thermal energy, to drive electric turbines.
- Solar Heating and Cooling (SHC) systems – this process accumulates thermal energy to supply water, air conditioning and heating.
Far greater attention is now focused on individuals and businesses, to make a change in their use of energy. Solar energy is freely available and is a clean, renewable energy source – one of the reasons as to why more buildings are now going solar. The over-riding goal is to minimise the use of energy consumption through energy efficiency, and using alternative solar energy.
In addition, your ROI is quicker than you may realise.
Technology plays a key role throughout the process:
- Before the construction – creating a zero-energy building design.
- During the construction – using low energy building materials.
- Energy-efficient equipment – making the operational energy requirement low.
Integration with other applications – adding renewable energy technologies to various applications.
Solar energy has now been integrated into a large number of homes and offices. It is a welcomed development, as we continue to face the ongoing battles of global climate change, environmental consciousness, increasing energy consumption and adding renewable energy.
It isn’t just the tackling of the battles above, but there are other benefits too:
- Low environmental impact – solar technologies produce low environmental pollution.
- Limitless resource – creating renewable energy with never ending supply.
- Energy independence – helping to make buildings energy independent, with less pressure on natural sources of energy.
- Multipurpose – the energy can be used across multiple applications around the building.
- Portable – the energy can be easily transported.
- Additions – you can easily expand the PV systems.
We can help with all aspects of Solar PV installation; maintenance and we can provide you with various finance options.
