Why Solar?
Enough energy is absorbed by the earth every 30 minutes to power the entire planet for a year UK - 60% as much solar radiation as equator & similar to Spain Works with other renewables
Ground source heat pump/geothermal Biomass
Biomass
8,000/10 years (rural location/type of fuel)
Wind Turbine
Vladimir Putin, Dec 2008
The time of cheap energy resources, cheap gas, is surely coming to an end.
Contract value increasing Current orders over 11.5 million Sales pipeline value 90.6 million Market leader in flat roof sector
Heat pumps
8,000 - 15,000/15 years (ground works)
