A transition to clean energy is about making an investment in our future.

Solar
Solar panels, also known as photovoltaics (PV), capture the sun’s energy and convert it into electricity to use in your home. Installing solar panels lets you use free, renewable, low carbon electricity. You can sell surplus electricity to the grid or store it for later use. According to low-carbon certification organisation MCS , there were more than 183,000 solar panel installations across the UK in 2023. This is a third higher than 2022, showing that solar is an increasingly popular renewable technology. And, against the backdrop of unstable energy costs, it’s a good time to consider taking advantage of the free, renewable energy that solar panels provide.
Renewables
Renewable energy refers to energy sources that are naturally replenished and can be harnessed without depleting their finite reserves. These sources are abundant in nature and provide a sustainable alternative to conventional fossil fuels, which contribute to environmental pollution. Non-renewable energy sources such as oil, coal, natural gas, and nuclear energy are those that cannot be easily replenished or regenerated within a short period. These sources have a limited supply and can damage the environment.
Battery Storage
Solar panel batteries, also known as solar battery storage systems, work by storing the excess energy produced by solar panels (also referred to as solar PV panels) during the day, for later use when the sun isn't shining. There are two main battery technologies currently used, lithium-ion and lead-acid, both of which are designed to handle the cyclic charging and discharging required for solar energy storage. When sunlight hits a solar panel, the solar cells in the panel convert the sunlight into electrical energy in the form of direct current (DC). This DC electricity then flows to the inverter, which converts the DC into alternating current (AC) that can be used to power household appliances and devices. If the demand for electricity in your home is less than that being generated, then the DC can be taken from the solar panels and used to charge a battery. During the night, when your home demands electricity your solar battery discharges to power your appliances and devices, so you're reaping the benefits of solar PV long after the sun has set.
EV
Electric Vehicles (EV) are the key technology to decarbonise road transport, a sector that accounts for over 15% of global energy-related emissions. Recent years have seen strong growth in the sale of electric vehicles together with improved range, wider model availability and increased performance. Passenger electric cars are surging in popularity – we estimate that 18% of new cars sold in 2023 will be electric. If the growth experienced in the past two years is sustained, CO2 emissions from cars can by 2030 be put on a pathway aligned with the Net Zero Emissions by 2050 (NZE) Scenario. However, electric vehicles are not yet a global phenomenon. Sales in some countries, especially developing and emerging countries, have been slow due to typically higher purchase costs compared to conventional vehicles and a lack of charging infrastructure.
“We know we’ll run out of dead dinosaurs to mine for fuel and have to use sustainable energy eventually, so why not go renewable now and avoid increasing risk of climate catastrophe? Betting that science is wrong and oil companies are right is the dumbest experiment in history by far.”
