Solar Panels

Why Solar ?
Solar energy is an exciting topic, but it alone will not save our world from the consequences of global warming. Like all progress, the application of new technologies will have its pros and cons. Solar energy is not new, it has been out there for several decades already. The cost has been the biggest disadvantage. Those who could benefit from it the MOST in reality have the LEAST purchasing power. To add to this, most of these potential users for Solar all live in the solar belt.

Advantages of Solar Power

The following advantages of Solar Power

• Greatly reduced pollution - Why not pollution-free? Because it isn't always. While having much better credentials than fossil fuel for polluting emissions,
• Greatly reduced contribution to global warming - One of the greatest advantages of solar energy of course is that there are no carbon dioxide,
• Infinite energy resource - Solar energy is not a finite resource as fossil fuels are. While the sun is up there it constantly produces all the energy we can use.
• Reduced maintenance costs - While not maintenance-free -- what technology really is? -- once solar panels, wind- or water power facilities are in place, no fuel .
• Falling production costs - The financial costs of producing appliances such as solar cells and solar hot water panels are falling as technology develops.
• Low running costs - With prices of traditional fuels soaring the cost advantages of solar energy are becoming obvious. After installation of the appliance,
