Solar panels and the energy crisis!
Sunday, April 18th, 2010There are several ways to use the sun’s power to generate electricity, but solar is the most exciting. It involves using tubes to collect the sun’s rays which then provides heat which can be used to heat your geyser, the energy guzzler in your roof. The only drawback to solar power was that it was too expensive to install. In many countries the governments are offering incentives to encourage homeowners and businesses to put solar panels on their roofs. Solar panels do not produce energy at night, but that is not a huge problem because the electricity is often most needed in the daytime, when people use their geysers. Solar energy is also used to heat pools. Costs are rapidly dropping and with the recent increase in the price of electricity in South Africa it has become a necessity.

It has now got to a time that we need to choose, are we part of the global energy crisis and part of the problem, or part of the solution?
