The year 2010 could just be the year the Light Emitting Diode (LED) Light bulb comes of age.
LED Lighting has been slowly progressing through our town and homes slowly replacing the inefficient incandescent light bulbs that were invented so long ago by a Mr Joseph Swan. Not the name you thought, well history does not [...]
Keeping your loft or attic cool and well ventilated is another task where Solar Energy cant step in with the Solar Powered Attic Fan.
As the outside weather and temperature varies over the day, a poorly ventilated attic can slowly build up problems with condensation witch in the long run may cause mould and rot in [...]
With the festive season approaching and your planning begins, it might be a good idea to have a think about those old fairy lights and consider Solar Powered Christmas Lights instead.
The combination of two modern technologies, Solar Energy which is always free and LED Lighting which are very energy efficient compared to traditional incandescent light [...]
A recent study by the US, Lawrence Berkeley Nation Lab on the cost of solar energy installations has dropped by over 30% in the years 1998 to 2008. The price per watt was just over US$12 in 1998 and has decreased to under US$8 by last year.
The study covers all types and sizes of photovoltaic [...]
When thinking about any type of new installation the upfront price that you will pay is always a big deciding factor. How much does solar hot water cost!
Unlike some other solar systems, a hot water installation using solar energy might not be as expensive as you first think. First of all there is not really [...]
Rebates or Incentives are available from many Governments and States worldwide to help reduce the cost of your solar installation and that includes Rebates for solar hot water.
Solar Hot Water is probably overall the best solar installation that everybody should consider. Typical households can save up to 75% of their water heating costs and depending [...]
Big Brothers Home Energy Saving or Forced Encouragement.
The European Union has banned the production and import of the 100 watt incandescent light bulb in a bid to force renewable energy.
For over 100 years the incandescent light bulb has burned bright ever since Thomas Edison Joseph Swan invented the the power inefficient device. These electric [...]
Installing a solar system in your property will no doubt help you save money on your energy bills. Whether it is a Solar Hot water system or Photovoltaic system for electrical generation you reduce or even eliminate those energy costs.
