Heating, aside from being one of the main sources of carbon emissions, is also a major source of energy expenditures, often accounting for more than half of a household's total energy costs. This is why living sustainably can be both beneficial for the environment and cheaper for the average person, assuming they make the right choices for their home.
Read MoreThe global conversation about climate change has intensified over the past few years, with a focus on reducing carbon emissions and promoting sustainable energy sources. The concept of green energy is not new, but recent advancements in technology and changes in policy have made renewable energy sources increasingly accessible. But just how attainable is green energy for the average person or business, and what does the landscape look like for the future of renewable energy?
Read MoreInstalling solar panels has become much more affordable and accessible for the average homeowner. Bringing in this change is a clever choice that reduces energy costs and is a great way of saving money. The solar panel installation process might seem like a simple task, but a few hidden mistakes can cost you more money in the long run. In this article, we will specify the common mistakes that occur when installing solar panels.
Read MoreSolar power is far from being a fad, considering the urgency of the need to mitigate the long-term effects of the climate crisis. We know now that human activity from the mid-twentieth century has been responsible for the rapid pace of the climate change that threatens wildlife and human survival in the long term. Most of this activity can be traced to burning fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas. Climate change is causing the ocean to warm and become more acidic, ice sheets to retreat, and glaciers to melt in the Arctic regions. By some estimates, rising sea levels will leave some cities completely submerged in the next few decades. The most dire predictions claim that the trend of global warming could be irreversible in just seven years: by 2030.
Read MoreOver the past few years, we have seen a considerable increase in the number of people choosing to install solar panels on their property. One of the main reasons for this is because of the cost-of-living crisis. Many people are finding that heating their homes using conventional means such as electricity and gas is becoming increasingly expensive and they wish to find a cheaper alternative. In addition, with a desire to switch to more climate-friendly heating alternatives becoming a priority, solar panels tick a lot of boxes.
Read MoreIn a world that is constantly changing it's difficult to predict what the future holds. It can be especially true regarding energy. Developments in renewable energy sources are advancing rapidly, often outpacing predictions by news outlets and raising more questions than answers about where the future of solar energy might be headed.

Solar panels are by nature designed to withstand everything that nature can throw at them and are therefore low maintenance items. That’s the point – low maintenance, not no maintenance. Anything, no matter how well engineered, must take account of Mother Nature.
The cleaning of solar panels is very important to the output of your solar system. Think of a clean car windscreen versus a windscreen that has not been cleaned in 6 months.
Dust build-up during the summer months can result in 5-10% loss of your entire solar energy system. It is recommended that you have your modules expertly cleaned, using only the right materials to ensure system optimisation.
There are a few obvious things that you can pay attention to ensure the most efficient output of your system.

Environmentalism is a hot topic in the modern world, and rightfully so. With the rise of industrialization over the past two centuries, the burning of fossil fuels and the overuse of limited natural resources for energy generation as well as the decrease in clean water supply, the Earth is quickly moving towards a perilous future.
Humanity is in need of a radical change in the way energy is harvested, stored and utilized. Although fossil fuel companies want you to believe otherwise, solar energy is the only sustainable, eco-friendly and inexhaustible source of clean energy.
Solar power is the way of the future, as it will allow the Earth’s population to thrive under an unlimited supply of energy, decrease energy expenses, and preserve the environment. Here’s how solar panels can benefit the ecosystem, promote long-term health, and allow for financial independence.
