Class Energy had a phone call this week from Ian and Jenny in Bradford, ordering their new Solar Photovoltaics (PV) system. We hadn’t even ordered their solar panels when, to our surprise, we got another phone call from Ian and Jenny’s next door neighbours!

It seems that Ian and Jenny’s enthusiasm about their new Solar PV system was infectious and their neighbours were convinced about Solar Power. The team at Class Energy are working flat out to get the jobs done together, so there will be as little disruption as possible. The scaffold will come down in two days when the electrics are finished. For now, the photo above is a sneak preview!

Wow your neighbours with these facts about Solar Power: Did you know:

• With solar panels, you get free electricity for your home.
• Solar panels work on light, rather than heat, so even up North you can generate your own electricity!
• The Renewable Heat Incentive is a government scheme that means, for seven years after you install solar panels, you will receive quarterly payments for producing green, renewable energy.
• Solar PV is the only form of electricity that doesn’t require any moving parts.
• Despite the sun being over 90 million miles away, it only takes around eight minutes for its light to get to us on earth. That’s a speed of 186,000 miles per hour!
• Solar energy produces no pollution so is one of the most environmentally friendly energy systems you can have.
• Solar energy systems require little to no maintenance and last for several decades.
• If we add the amount of solar energy that is absorbed by the Earth’s atmosphere, land and oceans every year, 8 000 times the total energy usage in the whole world.
