subject: Why consider solar energy [print this page] Why consider solar energy Why consider solar energy
This issue just isn't going away but gaining momentum with every passing year and molecule of non-renewable energy resource wasted. We often hear people saying things like: "Why should we use Solar Power?" "What's in it for me?" "Does it really benefit the planet?" "I'm not sure if I believe in global warming" and many more. Whether you believe in greenhouse gases making the planet hotter or not, there is no denying the limited nature of our energy resources. It is thought that by 2020, oil levels will not be able to meet demand, we can't survive without it. Or can we?
The use of Solar Energy goes back millennia, the Ancient Greeks and Romans are known to have used it and who can argue with the size and influence of their respective civilisations?
In this article, we aim to answer some of the most common questions we hear:
Does the use of Solar Energy really benefit the planet?
We'll leave you to make up your own mind but we do know that resources are running low and that burning fossil fuels to generate energy is seen to contribute to global warming. Solar Energy is the conversion of energy from the ultimate renewable energy source the sun into energy. This wastes nothing, burns nothing, and does not harm the planet.
What's in it for me?
Ah, the important but ultimately very understandable question. Well, for a start Solar Energy costs nothing, in fact using it could earn you money due to the government's feed-in tariff scheme. Energy companies will not only pay you to use Solar Panels, they'll also buy any spare energy from you!
Not only are there huge potential financial benefits, using Solar Energy is clean, it's immensely safe, and it hands control of your energy supply back to you! We all have to face up to inevitably increasing energy prices, so the more energy you generate the less the impact will be.
Also, it's very easy to install. A solar PV system is compatible with most property types and can usually be installed within 2 days.
I'm not convinced
