Governments around the world have recognised that in a time when the Earth’s climate is changing, investing in sustainable energy production is essential. Renewable energy does not damage the environment and will not contribute to further climate change. It ensures that future generations will be able to meet their energy needs without damaging the environment or producing harmful emissions such as carbon dioxide. Sustainable energy comes from renewable energy sources such as solar, tidal, wind and geothermal power.
In recent years the cost of solar panels has reduced dramatically, making them more affordable and attractive to home owners and businesses. This has resulted in a significant increase in the use of solar power in the UK. Once solar panels are installed on a building, harnessing the sun’s energy is completely free. Solar panels do not create noise disturbance like wind turbines, and are therefore more popular with the public.
