Solarcentury is a beacon for the UK’s solar power market, showing how attractive, flexible and easy to install solar PV can be, even in crowded urban areas. The company has used innovative design to develop a range of excellent solar products — mainly solar PV panels and some solar water heating — and mounting systems to fit a wide range of buildings, including industrial estates. It has designed and installed 550 solar systems across the country, meeting the rigorous standards of planners as well as clients.
Solarcentury’s total installed capacity is around 3.3 MWp generating around 2,370 MWh/year which prevents the emission of about 1,350 tonnes of CO2 a year. One of its best known installations is the CIS tower in Manchester with the largest commercial solar façade in Europe.

By exploiting the powers of nanotechnology and taking advantage of nontoxic, Earth-abundant materials, Berkeley Lab’s Cyrus Wadia has fabricated new solar cell devices that have the potential to be several orders of magnitude less expensive than conventional solar cells. And, by mastering the chemistry of these materials—and the economics of solar energy—he envisions bringing electricity to the 1.2 billion people now living without it.

Does anyone know why people don’t do this? There is a house that I saw on the news that is so energy efficient that the Solar panels paid for themselves in the first year. Plus on occassion the electric company has to buy the surplus electricity produced back from the home owner.
Solar energy for homes is great however there’s somet things that have to be taken into account.
If you live in souther california you get enough sun enough days of the year, if you live in some area that you have lots of cloudy days then they don’t do any good.
If the area is prone to hail (Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, etc) then you’re going to have chunks of ice flying at your expensive solar panels breaking them.
People when they’re originally building a home look at the up front cost, this is the reason you see so many people bitching about their heating and cooling bills. If they would have spent maybe 10% more they would have had a much higher level of insulation and would be saving a large amount of money. They’d probably also have more efficient heating, cooling, and electrical systems.
Am i saying it’s a bad idea to put up solar panels, no, if you’re in the right area then go for it, but people want something for nothing and it may look good or be in a good neighborhood but the operation costs are going to be high.
