5 Benefits Of Switching To Solar Panels
In our modern world, it’s impossible the escape the terms: eco-friendly, global warming and climate change
But are you actually doing anything to help the environment?
Perhaps you recycle or favour using public transport but how about adopting a completely new approach to the way you use energy in the home?
Besides reducing your energy bills, the simple solutions available can help you improve the environment
Let’s take a look at how the environment is working for us.
Think solar
Advances in technology are allowing us to truly make use of the elements such as wind, water and sun
On and offshore turbines and solar panels have emerged as the force behind the latest energy saving techniques
Solar panels make use of the sun’s energy by using photovoltaic cells to convert light directly into electricity
As the cells can only convert light, they will not work at night, but fortunately a solar panel installation will work during the day time even through cloudy weather
Here are 5 benefits of switching your electricity use to solar powered:
Reduce your energy bills and carbon footprint
News headlines are frequently delivering messages about rises in annual energy bills with suppliers keen to make healthy profits
Investing in solar panels is a great way to become less embroiled in the suppliers’ hunger for profits and will reduce the amount of energy you waste and your carbon footprint
How satisfying would it feel to know you helped improve the environment for generations to come?
Take advantage of other natural sources
There’s no need for us to accelerate the already rapid decline of non-renewable energy sources
There are other natural sources we can take advantage of to acquire energy such as wind, water and the sun
In recent years, there has been an increase in the use of on and offshore turbines to utilise wind power as well as turbines to harness the power and energy created in our seas through wave power
The sun is a huge part of our lives and we now know how we can harness its power to make the most of it by turning it into electricity
Earn tax free cash for the next 25 years
There are three separate ways that the Feed in Tariffs (FIT) can help you make money from generating your own energy through solar panels:
– There is a fixed income for every kilowatt (kWh) of electricity you generate, no matter whether you choose to use it yourself or export it to the National Grid
– You earn an additional fixed income for every kilowatt hour of electricity you sell back to the grid
– Even when you can’t generate enough electricity for your own needs, the amount of energy you will have to buy from your utility company will be minimised
ROI Return on Investment
By investing in solar panels it is estimated that you will gain 9-18% back.
Reliable, safe and eco-friendly technology
Traditional energy sources are accelerating the effects of climate change and are ultimately leading to the deterioration of our global environment
Using other natural sources such as the sun for solar panels will not harm the earth and will be a good use of a natural energy source
