Is our climate suitable for solar power?

The short answer is yes.

The sun is extremly powerful; capable of generating over a thousand watts of energy per square metre as it enters our atmosphere. Some of that energy is either reflected or absorbed by the atmosphere, but even at our northern latitude here in the UK a majority of the energy of the sun still gets through to the surface.

Our product range is proven to generate power for hot water and electricity from the daylight that arrives at ground level in this part of the world. Sun strength is important but most panels will generate some energy even on british cloudy days.

Solar power is a fantastic solution for people who want to heat their homes and water without harming the environment. Contact us to discuss your requirements today.
