PV solar panels on trial
Some people still have an old worldview of solar panels. Then, they discover the progress made with modern photovoltaic technology. Today I will put solar panel technology on trial.
In fact, modern solar panels are amazing, as I’ll prove beyond a reasonable doubt. One of the most significant injustices that the PV solar industry endured, is the issue of incentives. Unbelievably, it’s also endured attacks from media moguls with an agenda!
In reality, Britain has become the world’s fifth-largest user of fossil fuels at a cost of £2.6 billion this year alone. These amounts of money are never mentioned when compared to the tiny amounts of solar panel subsidies.
Something the media above love to complain about! For every £1 spent to support renewable energy, £6 is spent on fossil fuel subsidies. The rising costs of “treading water” will continue to raise energy expenditure.
Much quicker than the comparatively small self-generation technology subsidies. Undoubtedly, the fossil fuel industry relies on customer inertia.
For example, almost 50% of consumers still pay their bills quarterly. This is the most expensive! Unfortunately, most people won’t research the benefits of adopting solar technology and looking beyond the rhetoric of fuddy-duddy journalism.
Regularly talking to photovoltaic adoptees, they think about self-generation in a way they never did before. Ladies and gentlemen, of the jury, this type of thinking need to be expanded.
Fossil fuel subsidies encourage wasteful consumption, reduce our energy security, and discourage independence. Solar panels only account for 1/6th of the overall spending and the benefits last for 25 years, in comparison with a few years for fossil fuel. Facts that never get mentioned in the anti-solar propaganda! When I initially became interested in solar panel technologies, it was a niche market.
Today, homeowners are embracing solar panels to reduce dependence on the status quo. Alas, the energy industry’s own predictions, mean a rise to £2-3,000 annually! This is why individuals and nations adopt PV systems – worldwide.
For those that claim a national investment in solar panels is a waste of money – I dispute this claim.
I love Photovoltaic technology because they’re such a very long-term benefit. Solar panels will still be producing power long after your current vehicle is faded from memory.
The current rate of the generation tariff of around 4.38p per kilowatt is available alongside battery storage options.
I’ve always campaigned for a better solar industry and this includes encouraging take-up by demonstrating the benefits. Return-on-investment is linked to the additional plugin options working alongside.
The good news is we’ve done the solar-related research for you.
As an energy-hungry world comes to terms with year-on-year rising expenditure, as a self-generator, you’ll be sitting pretty with a modern PV solar panel installation.
