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.

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.

Solar Thermal Energy
Solar Thermal Energy (STE) – In recent years, much attention has been given to the benefits of generating electricity from solar panels, and the advantages to be gained from renewable electric power sources. [Read more…] about Solar Thermal Energy
