Energy that won't cost the Earth

It is an inescapable fact that the Earth is heating up due to carbon dioxide produced by the burning of fossil fuels – coal, oil and natural gas - that are the main source of our energy. 

With the devastation of the rainforests that absorb this carbon dioxide and produce the oxygen we need to breathe, we are set to face evermore extreme weather.  

But there are alternative and sustainable ways of supplying our energy that causes little suffering to the environment, and one way is through solar energy. 

Solar panels harness the free power of the sun, even on cloudy days, and convert the energy into electricity for your appliances, lights and hot water. 

Once you have paid for the system, the solar energy you produce is all yours and you won't have to pay a thing for it – in fact, the government has designed a scheme whereby you get paid for your eco-friendliness in producing energy.  You get paid not only for what you use, but for any extra you put back into the national grid for other people to use. 

Green energy, therefore, has become an investment with great returns.  A solar thermal hot water system can reduce an average household's carbon dioxide emissions by up to 1-2 tonnes per year and save at least 60% on your annual heating bills.  

Imagine how much emissions would be reduced if every household in the UK (about 20 million) were utilising some form of solar power, and what benefits to the environment this would bring.
