Solar Panels
Save up to 60% on your hot water heating bills by installing solar panels. Direct sun light is not necessary to heat water and so you can still benefit from hot water even on overcast days. Solar panels are generally installed within 2 days with minimal disruption.
The use of solar panels to heat water is becoming increasingly popular around the world due to the energy and money saving associated with this method.
A good solar hot water panel system is able to provide an average household with around a third of its annual hot water supply. While this may not sound much, it can reduce energy costs by a considerable amount.
Now imagine if you could combine not only a solar panel hot water heating system, but also an average solar electricity system. This would save a heap on energy and electricity bills!
The combination of a solar hot water panel with other renewable energy technologies, such as solar panels, or a home wind turbine can work well together in providing a source of cheap, clean, and renewable energy for our homes.
Integration is key for the success of a solar electricity system, so be sure to consult an expert in this field when planning installation.

Thin Film Solar Panels (CIGS)
There is now a new form of solar panel being produced called thin film solar. It is manufactured the same way as a newspaper is printed; just by simply printing on a continuous backing. In the case of these new solar panels the backing is a thin aluminium sheet, the cigs (copper indium gallium selenide) is the conductor and is printed just like an ink on paper. This new form of solar panel is not as efficient as silicon based solar panels but the cost in manufacturing is significantly lower and incredibly faster to produce. These solar panels can be formed into many shapes and sizes unlike the silicon based panels and, no doubt. we will all be hearing more about this in the future.
