Solar Panels are the leading form of domestic renewable energy, and with high energy yields & low costs, now is a great time to take advantage of government backed schemes for solar panel installation. There are some requirements that need to be considered when deciding whether solar panels are the right fit for you and your property. This infographic helps explain what you need to know when choosing solar panels.
Pollution impacts everyone. We live in a world that is heavily dependent on crude energy resources like oil, natural gas and coal. These power our homes, businesses, and methods of transportation. There is a problem with using such high quantities of these resources: they ultimately result in global warming. It’s time we turn to renewable energy resources, like solar to reduce pollution.
Nothing can stop a hurricane – but a solid disaster recovery plan can help to alleviate the aftermath. Residents often suffer financial damage, and even though a good insurance policy may protect against some property damages, lasting emotional trauma takes time to heal. Displaced residents need shelter when homes are destroyed, and immediate shortages of food and water are life threatening.

This responsibility should not be limited to government. It’s also important for companies take the initiative to offset the impact they’ve had on the environment.
We are all being asked to shrink our carbon footprint by reducing energy consumption, but have you ever wondered how energy efficient the UK is compared with other European neighbors? This infographic highlights the present and future targets for reducing energy consumption. It provides an insight into where the most energy is being used, and where the most effective savings are being made in average households.
