Solar & the Environment

Story Highlight

Solar = environmentally friendly!

Renewable energy is becoming more important as governments around the globe look to reduce emissions of greenhouse gasses as well as removing our reliance on fossil fuels.

Although it’s not the only source of renewable energy, Solar is the most popular for a few reasons.

The output of wind systems is very dependent on the speed of the wind and they aren’t widely used in urban areas due to issues with aesthetics, safety and obstructions.

Solar PV systems are not dependent on constant direct sunlight, whereas wind energy is totally reliant on persistent wind. Solar systems also don’t suffer from the same planning issues that apply to wind energy.

Installing a solar PV system isn’t just about generating free electricity, or getting feed-in-tariff payments. By having Solar Conversions install your system you will also be reducing your carbon footprint, as solar is 100% emission free.
