How a small PV project saved £thousands through innovative Electrical Earthing Design

Electrical Earthing Design in Renewable Solar Energy

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.

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.

Photovoltaics – A Sustainable Technology

What is 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.
