From cooking food, heating water or refrigerating to lighting up our home, energy plays a vital role in our everyday life. Using renewable energy reduces our dependence on energy sources that contribute to climate change and can help make a big difference to the energy efficiency of our home.
Here are the renewable energy technologies one can consider:
Solar Photovoltaic Panels (PV)
Suitable for urban and rural environments, solar PV panels convert sunlight into electricity.
Solar PV and your home
The roof is the ideal place to install a solar PV system, but just ensure that no other buildings or large trees overshadow it. Actually, they can be an interesting and functional alternative to conventional roof tiles.
The benefits
- A long term cost-effective alternative to conventional source of electricity.
- PV systems do not generate any greenhouse gases – and are therefore eco-friendly.
