Australia, the sun blessed country.
Solar power is energy from the sun that is converted into thermal or electrical energy.
Solar energy is the cleanest and most abundant renewable energy source available, and the Australia has some of the richest solar resources in the world. Modern technology can harness this energy for a variety of uses, including generating electricity, providing light or a comfortable interior environment, and heating water for domestic, commercial, or industrial use.
The Australia solar market faces both challenges and opportunities; the industry is working to scale up the production of solar technology, and drive down manufacturing and installation costs.
Photovoltaic Solar
In the case of rooftop solar, everyday Australians are open to financial and environmental benefits of going green, with over 1.4 million homes committing to control their future energy needs. Recent findings by the International Energy Agency suggest the sun could be the world’s largest source of electricity by 2050, ahead of fossil fuels, wind, hydro and nuclear. How does that relate to the average consumer? As solar technology advances, the increasing efficiency and increased savings will benefit every family in Australia.
Renewable energy- what is it all about?
Renewable energy – wind, solar, geothermal, hydroelectric, and biomass – is a term we all hear too often without ever understanding its true benefits and applications. It therefore stands to reason that many individuals, families and businesses have long relied on traditional energy enablers, such as gas and coal, because it’s easily accessible and requires nothing more than a phone call.
However, renewable energy in all its forms has now begun to grab the attention of the average Australian, as the substantial benefits for financial savings, the environment, our health, and the wider economy are realised.
While each source of the renewable energy spectrum has unique benefits, the binding factor is glaringly obvious; Australia possesses a vast energy supply – and it won’t ever run out. In 2013 alone nearly 15% of Australia’s electricity came from renewable sources, enough to power equivalent of almost 5 million homes!.
