The newly designed PV Inverter features full load high efficiency, high reliability and user friendly interface. Green, or renewable energy, is generated by harnessing the power of the wind, sun and sea, or by burning replaceable sources such as waste products and crops (biofuels). The most prevalent sources of green energy in the UK are solar, biofuels, wind and water. Unlike fossil fuels, these will never run out and do not release extra carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). The UK has only one per cent of the world’s population, but we produce 2.3 per cent of its CO 2 . Solar power does not produce any emissions, is renewable, and is highly suitable for powering portable devices as well as homes. Many new home and smaller commercial developers take solar energy generation into consideration as a design concept, like solar panels and water-heating systems. While the goal of solar- powered transport has not yet been achieved, the panels can be employed in vehicles as a source of power for air conditioning. It is in this market that we began operations in 2010 In those days, our business was installing systems for seven solar power contractors. However, when the government made the announcement in 2012 that the feed-in tariff for solar power was going to be cut in half, a lot of companies exited the market.
