While enjoying a pint on a countryside walk, I was distracted by a conversation about solar panels.

A debate of the effectiveness of solar panels in the UK began.

Interested to hear a stranger’s point-of-view, I earwigged whilst admiring the beautiful Welsh countryside.

Resisting the urge to declare my own enthusiasm, I listened as they began to espouse the usual solar myths.

A feed-in tariff incentive for solar heating panels has been announced.

The Renewable Heat Incentive for solar heating is now available.

Announced this week by Greg Barker of the Department of Energy and Climate Change.

This is similar to an already existing PV export tariff for photovoltaic solar panels.

A payment tariff of 19.2p per kWh for heated solar output for seven-years has been confirmed. (more…)

I’m always excited by new solar panel innovations.

Lets’s take a look at thermodynamic solar panels.

First impressions, too good to be true!

The hype around this technology does warrant closer inspection.

This new solar technology is a solar heating system that surpasses flat-plate and evacuated tube systems by clever use of integrating heat-pump technology. (more…)

The European Union is deciding on legislation that could influence prices.

This potentially could put an end to cheap PV solar panels.

Cheaper panels from China have seen cost reductions for homeowners.

You may have noticed a solar installation bonanza around the United Kingdom.

This has occurred for two main reasons: (more…)

We have always encouraged people to get an installation while the going is good.

Many listened and now enjoy the benefits that solar panels offer.

Installing PV solar panels (photovoltaic) on your roof is a no-brainer in today’s world.

Unfortunately for most, the benefits of a PV solar system are not yet tuned.

Many are locked into the mindset that Energy Switch Sites is the answer!

The golden age of cheap traditional energy has been over for two decades now. (more…)

PV solar panels are a worthwhile investment projecting far into the future.

In fact, there’s nothing more powerful than when a technological time has arrived.

The current incentives for photovoltaic solar panels are numerous.

Few technologies are operational and still useful thirty years after purchase.

Selling surplus power to your supplier, storing surplus power for nighttime use, heating your hot water element, and of course, charging the car on the drive.

All this, and I didn’t even mention saving money on bills.

People en mass are encouraged to install, just to keep expenditure from spiraling out of control. (more…)
