Stephen Says,
Hello friends, what attracts me to solar energy is the fact that you can have your ideal home anywhere in the world, as long as there is sunshine, ie absolutely everywhere! I’ve been recently reading people’s opinions regarding solar energy, and it’s pros and cons. Some tips were to get a consultant in to help you choose the best solar options, worth their weight in gold. There is what is known as a ‘smart solar box’ which can even charge up on cloudy days and provide you with 20 hours of electricity to power small appliances in your home.
Fortum Say,
Solar power – unlimited source of energy
Solar power is the key to a clean energy future. Every day, the sun gives off far more energy than we need to power everything on earth. That’s why we’re investing heavily in solar plants and why we are now offering solar kits to our customers in Finland, Norway and Sweden.
Renewable
Solar panels produce electricity by transforming the continuous flow of energy from the sun to electricity.
CO₂-free
No harmful emissions are released into the air when electricity is produced by solar panels.
Low operating costs
The photovoltaic process that transforms sunlight into electricity doesn’t require any fuel and has no variable costs.
Limitless solar energy
The sun provides more than enough energy to meet the whole world’s energy needs, and unlike fossil fuels, it won’t run out anytime soon. As a renewable energy source, the only limitation of solar power is our ability to turn it into electricity in an efficient and cost-effective way.
Solar energy – a clean source
No greenhouse gas emissions are released into the atmosphere when you use solar panels to create electricity. And because the sun provides more energy than we’ll ever need, electricity from solar power is a very important energy source in the move to clean energy production.
No fuel to burn
After solar panels have been installed, operational costs are quite low compared to other forms of power generation. Fuel isn’t required, and this means that solar power can create large amounts of electricity without the uncertainty and expense of securing a fuel supply.
Solar power and the environment
As a renewable CO2-free power source, the environmental impact of solar power is significantly smaller than other power generation methods. The impact is mainly related to the production and supply of the special materials and metals that are required to produce solar panels. The location and the water used to clean the solar panels also affect the environment. We are working hard to find alternative ways to clean our solar panels.

Stephen’s Solar Energy Conclusion.
So, in conclusion to Solar Energy, it will probably be a life saver. After all when there’s no energy left on this planet, the sun will always be shining for at least a few more billions of years, and that energy may one day have to be utilized, even helping to rebuild the damage that has been done by us (humans) to carry on our existence!!!
