Installing
Solar Panels.

I get a return on my money.
Most of us are aware
of the advantages relating to solar power, not only from the 'green'
aspect but a money saving point of view too.

We don't need
to live in Florida, because, believe it or not Hertfordshire
has an abundance of daylight and even with our varying degrees
of sun, we can still capture this free resource, store it
and use the energy to light and heat our homes.
|
We can even arrange
to feed our surplus energy into the grid, actually selling the
surplus energy to the main supplier.
Don't let the thought
of feeding solar energy back into the National Grid put you off,
you don't need to perform any engineering. No human intervention
is required other than flicking a switch.
When the world's energy
resource hits the point of forecast where it is under threat,
and it is even more expensive than it is now, you can rest assured
that you personally have provided for your future generations
and as long as they occupy the house they will not want for energy
if you have sufficient panels. That is a good feeling.

Installing solar
energy panels will reduce our dependency on fossil fuels
such as coal for generating power.
It also reduces our power bills and even adds value to our
property by making it more desirable.

Utility companies and
energy suppliers areconstantly hiking up their prices. We have
an opportunity to opt out major energy bills by living in with
a solar powered home. It is unlikely that we can totally remove
ourselves from the grid, but at we can at least have the option
to harvest our own power and manage our own power.
Here are the numbers:
A square meter panel
on your roof can collect 1kWh of power per hour based on on a
normal sunny day so you could probably harvest abot 6 kWh of total
energy per day from that small surface area.
The average family
home needs about 30 kWh per day. Therefore we need a 5 square
meter area of solar panels. Could this size panel generate enough
power to run your home?.
