No matter how much people may choose to ignore the environment , it affects the way we live. How often do we hear of the weather men say that it is the hottest, driest , coldest or wettest period for decades. The planet is changing fast because of our doing. All of us are culprits and it needs all of us to do our bit to readdress the balance. The Kyoto agreement is not going to be met by 2010, so the government is going to push harder for more efficient uses of fuels or green alternatives. Solar water heating is no gimmick, it is tried and tested and the next best way to reduce our fuel bills. |

A recent study said that it takes 50 years on average to get the money you pay for double glazing back. With solar this can be 8 to 10 years on average. Solar energy can provide 40 to 70% of your water heating needs over the year and 100% in summer, with these high performance panels. The suns radiation is the biggest source of energy on the planet, it is just a little harder to harness, the good news is that the suns energy costs nothing . Evacuated solar panels will save you money and pay for themselves. |
