I am a great supporter of solar power. I do hope governments around the world wake up to the potential it offers.

Large scale solar plants will obviously have the major impact. But it is good that it is a sustainable power generation technology that individual householders can participate in.

Continual technology advances will only make this easier and more financially viable.

I am very happy that I at last now have the resources to make my first entrance into solar energy for our home. It is only a 2.3kW scheme to start but I hope to expand on it later as finances permit. We also have the potential to combine it with a micro-hydro scheme which will give us the ability to access more year round renewable energy.
