s not a surprise . but the issue is how we do adapt to all of this change in the context of solar energy we are talking about different issues . how do we adapt to new career opportunities how can we change the way we go to work and more . but a lot of people are asking how it will exchange the way we live more demo in the context of solar energy we are talking about different issues . how do we adapt to new career opportunities how can we change the way we go to work and more . but a lot of people are asking how it will exchange the way we live that s a valid question . houses were never built with the sole purpose of catching more sun . although you could say that tradition rooftop designs fit solar energy models quite well . and they really do . but it s not optimized to get as much sun as possible . why is that important because in many countries there are seasons where a day last only for a few hours 10 at most . during this time your batteries must be able to fully charge and that includes optimizing every aspect of harnessing solar energy . however solar optimization is not the only concern . with increasing population we still need to think about fitting more people in the same amount of land . so in the future how do you expect buildings to change can they get ridiculously futuristic in fact not really . the very first building to be designed for solar energy optimization is conde nat building . and it s a general looking skyscraper in the middle of the new york city . having said that there are certainly some interesting designs offered but this may be the case just because we are in the 21 century and everyone is expecting futurism in everything from car designs to technological advances to new buildings . and why these interesting designs are nice to look at they are not always optimized to gather as much solar energy as possible . you feel lost . you like the idea of using solar energy but you are not completely sure whether you ve just read

solely on us . that would be our third published white paper on renewable energy with previous two being published in 2011 and 2014 . no we don t need so much research because the jury on solar energy is still out . it s clear for decades now that solar energy is extremely cheap clean and sustainable . they are not as dangerous as nuclear energy or as unhealthy as coal . nevertheless the constant studies are required because new technologies give ways to more effective solar panels and as a result statistics change . news solar energy uk surpassed coal 01 aug 2016 here s what s interesting . uk is not known for its sunny days . and yet right now they are among the leading countries in replacing coal to renewable energy sources like solar . this process has still a lot to go but recently uk has reached a symbolic milestone . for the first time for 24 hours solar energy usage surpassed coal . it only proves how clinical is the decline of coal usage during the last three decades with the couple of last years being crucial . while coal factories continue to close down reportedly solar energy has reached 17 % of uk s overall 90gw of produced electricity . these trends are likely to continue as they are already showing great results . in 2015 uk s gas emissions were reduced by 4 % solar energy technologies improve constantly making it almost the cheapest types of energy to harness . overall during the last quarter renewable energy has surpassed coal which now only accounts for 8 % of uk produced electricity . it s worth to mention that so far a huge part for embracing solar energy goes to businesses but there is no doubt that in upcoming years solar energy will become more affordable for families . especially if government keep their part of the bargain to

solar panel to produce energy is something you could do as a weekend project if you re handy but it may take a bit longer if these kind of projects are not something you do often . there are a few ways you can make a solar panel but basically you will first need to build a panel . the panel can be metal or wood framed the former will be more expensive harder to work with but the latter will last you less due to effects of the weather . you will also need two glass sheets to frame your solar panels . now the energy part of your panel can be made from soda cans but for a better quality panel you ll need 28x 3 1 wp solar cells a junction box a terminal block heat shrink tubing and a couple of other things . in total it will come down to 500 per solar panel . you can find all of the necessary instructions on our website . to be fair it s not that hard if you follow every instruction carefully but if something is not completely clear you can always send us your questions . events

out in support of renewable energy and against dirty energy like coal . if you would like to add your event here to the list please don t hesitate to contact us with the description of the event . we
