In situations where networks are fairly simple and fault levels are low. For example in most embedded utility scale Solar (PV). Earthing/grounding can have a significant impact on the cost to build (and connect) a successful renewable generation scheme. A key part of the build cost is down to the raw materials, of which a significant part is the cost of copper. Used for the control of surface voltages as part of a Safe Electrical Earthing Design.

Only a few short months ago solar roadways became a plausible, realistic solution to our energy shortage. [Read more…] about Solar Roadways – a Solution to our Energy Dilemma
Solar Energy – Saving our Planet
Solar energy could solve our need for power. With time running out to come up with a solution, Desertec Foundation have unveiled their plans to develop sustainable energy sources – primarily through solar plants in the desert. [Read more…] about Solar Energy – Saving our Planet
Photovoltaics – A Sustainable Technology
Photovoltaics – With the two exceptions of nuclear power and tidal power, virtually all the electricity generated on earth comes from the sun, by using sun-driven natural phenomena such as wind and rainfall, or by way of the ability of plants to capture carbon from the atmosphere by photosynthesis. [Read more…] about Photovoltaics – A Sustainable Technology
Solar Thermal Energy
Solar Thermal Energy (STE) – In recent years, much attention has been given to the benefits of generating electricity from solar panels. The advantages to be gained from renewable electric power sources. [Read more…] about Solar Thermal Energy
