Solar PV Facts |
|
Solar PV could provide 10,000 times more energy than the world currently uses. If we covered a small fraction of the Sahara desert with PV, we could generate all the world's electricity requirements. If you install a solar PV tiled roof, you could prevent over 34 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions during its lifetime. The earth receives an unimaginably huge amount of energy which completely dwarfs the capabilities of fossil fuels or nuclear fission….and its clean and free. Many buildings use cladding materials which cost £1,000 per square metre. By contrast, solar PV cladding - which can look every bit as attractive as marble or bronze - costs as little as £500 per square metre. It also provides clean and free power for the building. |
