Solar Energy > The Sun's Abundant Energy

The Sun radiates enormous amounts of energy to the Earth due to its surface temperature of 6,000°C.
In the UK we receive vast amounts of solar energy with the average amount of energy received in a year being as much as 60% of that received on the equator. This radiation is similar to the output of 1,000 power stations.
Today there are a range of high quality products, which enable us to use the Sun's energy very effectively in the UK.
Using the Sun's energy reduces our consumption of conventional fuel and helps to reduce the emission of harmful greenhouse gases.
