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.

Renewable Energy
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. However, the power of the sun can also be harnessed in a more straightforward. Sometimes more efficient way, to provide energy directly for heating buildings, and for a commercial or domestic water supply. As energy prices inevitably increase, an Solar Thermal Energy installation will make increasing sense for many homes and businesses in the UK.

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.
