Sun bathing......

I took the 'long block' walk home from WW this morning. Plenty to see and appreciate in these local roads which I don't often use when I need to save time.

And these solar panels simply drew my attention. I am sure the owner of the house has been delighted in his investment after this summer. They were really doing their job well today too.

And I came home and googled, and I have learnt that with these panels you can:
• Cut your electricity bills: sunlight is free, so once you've paid for the initial installation your electricity costs will be reduced.
• Get paid for the electricity you generate: the government’s Feed-In Tariffs pay you for the electricity you generate, even if you use it.
• Sell electricity back to the grid: if your system is producing more electricity than you need, or when you can't use it, you can sell the surplus back to the grid.
• Cut your carbon footprint: solar electricity is green, renewables energy and doesn't release any harmful carbon dioxide] or other pollutants. A typical home solar PV system could save over a tonne of carbon dioxide per year – that's more than 30 tonnes over its lifetime.

Not rocket science, but interesting, and if next winter follows the pattern of the last two......
