Solar panels increase the value of a home, because electricity bills in the space are cheaper, and solar panels often provide tax breaks.

Saving money with green upgrades – an infographic that looks at the potential savings of green energy-related upgrades like solar panels and wind turbines.

Why choose solar?

1. Financially Smart: once you have installed your solar system, the savings you make will continually increase as the price of electricity rises.

2. Sustainable: electricity generated directly from the sun is much more sustainable than burning fossil fuels.

3. Emission Free: the production of solar power is completely silent and odor-free.

4. Renewable: while the sun continues to shine, we will never run out of solar power.

5. Low Maintenance.

The Best Uses of Solar Energy:

1. Power Your Home with Solar Energy.

2. Swimming Pools with Solar Heat.

3. Solar Hot Water Heaters.

4. Warming Your Home with Solar Heat.

5. Ventilation Using Solar Power

6. Outside Lighting with Solar Power.

Benefits of Solar Energy:

1. Solar energy is not only sustainable, but it is also renewable and this means that we will never run out of it. It is about as natural a source of power as it is possible to generate electricity.

2. The creation of solar energy requires little maintenance. Once the solar panels have been installed and are working at maximum efficiency there is only a small amount of maintenance required each year to ensure they are in working order.

3. They are a silent producer of energy. There is no noise made by photovoltaic panels as they convert sunlight into usable electricity.

4. There are continual advancements in solar panel technology which are increasing efficiency and lowering the cost of production, thus making it, even more, cost-effective.

5. During operation solar electricity power plants produce zero emissions.
