In some parts of the world you can see solar panels as regularly as Sky dishes in a housing estate. Not only in the developed world either, but in developing countries, where solar panels have revolutionised access to energy.

In Scotland they may not yet be quite such a common site, but they can both save money and the environment simultaneously, and if you happen to live remotely perhaps too they can enhance the quality and reliability of your access to energy.

Solar development

Solar panels have developed massively over the near 130 years that they have existed and they certainly are no longer a simple novelty. The proof of their potential to offer a quality and sustainable energy solution has well and truly been gathered, and now too, with the decreasing cost of installation, the financial implications make more and more sense. It was only a few years ago that the installation prices made having solar panels installed something you could only afford if you were rich; no longer is this the case!

The future

The surprising thing really is in regards to the relatively slow pace of the transition ...
... from other energy sources. The idea of harnessing the power of the sun is absolutely a ‘Eureka’ moment, and within an ever conscious population it surely will soon be the norm.

By leading the charge you can benefit from the revolutionary power source before many others, but too you also can take advantage of government subsidies and with the economic crisis lingering like an over affectionate aunt, it is important to give more consideration towards the economics of energy supply.

On a larger scale, the growth of solar energy may be more complex. There are huge areas of solar panels helping to provide energy to vast numbers of individuals, but recent plans to harness the space in the desert have come up against numerous obstacles. A simple residential solution, however, of course poses no problem and indeed if you look in the right places you too can be the proud owner of a solar panel or two before the New Year has arrived.
