Solar Energy Facts

When we’re talking about solar energy facts, here at Solar King we could rant on for hours. For example did you know that the world’s first solar energy collector was invented in 1767 or that Einstein won a Nobel Prize in Physics for his experiments with solar photovoltaics? Probably not, but let’s face it these aren’t the facts you need to know when it comes to deciding whether solar power is the alternative for you. A deeper understanding of this topic will hopefully make you review your current energy needs.

What you do need to know is that solar power is an energy resource that we need to be making the most of and a key way in which we can help to reverse the diminishing effects of global warming. Solar power is a natural energy source which releases absolutely no carbon emissions and is a resource which the earth receives enough of in just a few hours, to be able to meet our planets entire energy demands for a whole year. So if we could capture even just 10% of this natural energy we’d have enough to replace all of our fossil fuel resources with plenty left over.

Environmental solar power facts aside switching your energy source to solar or even using it in addition to your traditional source can significantly reduce your energy bills. With so many incentives out there you can generate a substantial amount to reward you for your commitment. Receiving up to 21p for every unit of energy you produce and an additional 3p for every unit of energy you produce and export back to the national grid you really are making an investment for the future.

So why not review your current energy usage, reduce your carbon footprint today and reap the benefits of a healthier atmosphere and not to mention a healthier bills account, all you have to do is way up the solar panel facts and you’ll soon come to a conclusion.

If you’re still not convinced, read Solar King reviews from customers who’ve made the switch to solar power.

Solar King - Complaints about running out of Battery Power?

As a concept which has been put into practice for over 50 years now, photovoltaics have come an extremely long way since their early days back in the Bell Laboratories. But charging battery powered equipment is a common compliant for users: complaints about batteries running out in Sony PSPs,complaints about iPod batteries and complaints about all manner of things.

Now with the ability to charge anything from a wrist watch to an entire space station, solar PV is fast becoming a technological advancement which provides the solution to so many of our problems. Not only is solar PV an energy resource which when consumed releases zero emissions but it’s also extremely reliable. These days people are constantly on the go which is why solar chargers are even being integrated into the likes of mobile phones so you never have to face the situation of running out of battery. As with solar photovoltaic panels one of the great things is, it’s renewable, so as long as the sun is shining your appliances will keep on working. So from gadgets to entire households, solar panel chargers are useful for use within your property whether it be residential or commercial.

Solar Water Heating Systems

There’s nothing worse than a cold bath or shower – it’s the perfect scenario for complaints about poor heating systems and rusty-old gas-fired boiler systems (okay, so we’re biased towards solar heating). Anyway, we’d like to point out a fact that Solar King solar water heating systems are our most popular product during the winter months. A good solar heating system can mean a consistent supply of warm water – so no more complaints about cold water.

Solar thermal heating systems are slightly different to solar panels as they are used to supply you with hot water. Whilst they do work in a similar way to solar panels i.e. using daylight energy, they are built to specifically heat water or, even better, heat your indoor pool.

When it comes to cost effective methods to heat your water, these thermal heating systems come top of the list and you don’t have to worry about relying on the sun to shine in order to have a hot shower. We’re under no illusions about the weather in Great Britain; and as a result, we make sure that your solar heating system relies on daylight rather than direct sunlight.

Solar King thermal solar panels use the most advanced technology and therefore are far more superior to the average solar energy product. If you want to learn more about Solar King solar products, we’d be happy to help.

How do solar panels work?

There are often complaints about what solar panels look like, complaints about the method in which they are built and complaints about their inefficiency. But a little education into what they are and how electricity is generated will help create a general awareness and understanding that they’re not all that bad. At Solar King, we want to show you how solar panels work.

Understandably, a question we get a lot is how do solar panels work? It’s neither a stupid question nor one that we ever shy away from because it’s our job to explain and educate to others the many benefits of solar energy.

When light (sunlight or daylight) hits an object, it heats that object up. How solar panels work is simple. When the light hits a solar panel (which is made up of specific, clever materials knownphotovoltaic cells), the solar panel then turns this light into an electrical current, which is how we can power certain household items with solar panels.

Every day, the earth receives energy from the sun and every day we aim to think of new and innovative ways to make the most of this energy. Arguably the most common way of trapping said energy is by using solar panels. The best thing about solar panels is that you can use the energy you collect for a range of different things to benefit your household or property.

Typically, the heat and energy is stored in your boiler to create hot water, but these days you can do much more than just have a hot shower. Not to mention installing solar panels lowers your monthly electricity bill!
