What is solar energy?

It needn’t be hot or sunny for Eco2Solar’s solar energy solutions to be effective. So why give all your money to big energy companies, when you could be getting your energy for free?

Solar energy, solar power or solar radiation is your own sustainable energy source and an excellent alternative to fossil fuels. Solar energy can be used to produce your own electric power or heating.

So how do I make the most of solar energy?

That’s where we come in. We supply both types of solar panel – those that produce electricity, and those that create hot water.

Eco₂Solar’s solar energy systems absorb solar radiation and uses it to heat your water. Known as “solar thermal” or “solar photovoltaic (PV)”, this technology is a particularly effective form of microgeneration – energy generated locally and under your control.

But what happens when it isn’t sunny?

No problems. Eco₂Solar’s solar energy doesn’t need sunshine or direct sunlight to work. It works well even on cloudy days. If you can see there is solar radiation, and the solar thermal or PV system will provide solar heat or power.

Eco₂Solar can install a solar powered hot water system in your home, public building or commercial premises. We can even provide under floor heating or heat your swimming pool with our solar panels.

Did you know?

• Eco₂Solar’s solar panels even work when it is frosty or in minus temperatures
• Eco₂Solar’s solar heating is particularly effective at heating swimming pools
• Eco₂Solar’s solar energy is more effective in the UK than in many hotter countries because our atmosphere is less polluted
• On sunny days, the UK experiences solar energy levels equal to 60% of those at the equator
• Enough solar energy is absorbed by the earth every 30 minutes to power the entire planet for a year. How long could you power your building with that much energy?
