Solar
powered technology converts the sun's energy into heat, light and electricity
for use by homes and businesses. This Web site is designed to answer
some of the questions that you might have about solar power and how
it can be used to meet your energy needs.
Although Solar Powered technology might have its greatest potential
in regions of the world close to the equator, even countries in northern
latitudes such as Britain can benefit from its use. It is estimated
that the installation of solar cells on Britain's roofs could generate
up to half of the countries energy needs for everything from heating
buildings to street lights. As the cost of such technology continues
to fall, such energy production is becoming increasingly competitive
with traditional centralized sources of power.
