What is Solar Energy?
Using the sun's energy we can create electricity or heat water.

The Solar solution is not a cheap technology.
Installed in an existing building it can cost between £2,500 and £5,000 (new builds considerably less).
Compared to the cost of a new kitchen it can be recognised as a valuable home improvement that can also pay you back.

Energy from the sun is clean and abundant.
When thinking of solar panels in the UK many people believe we do not have enough sunshine, when in fact parts of the UK have annual solar radiation levels equal to 60% of that at the equator. However 70% of this is received throughout the summer months of April to September. |

SOLAR ENERGY THROUGHOUT THE UK
Maximum power on a cloud free today occurs at solar noon at any location. The MET office has been recording this data for over 30 years.
Here is a map showing the geographical distribution of solar radiation for the UK . |
The map is showing variations in annual mean values of solar irradiation on a south facing 30 ° inclined plane in the UK in kWh/m2 |
|
The available energy decreases as you head north because of the lower altitude of the sun, there are also substantial local variations as geological features such as mountains and proximity to the sea can affect the availability of solar radiation. |
