Sharp Solar Successes

Solar Energy

Solar energy is becoming ever more popular across the U.K. With the rising costs of electricity many companies are considering switching to solar power. With benefits such as saving huge amounts on electricity costs and the chance to gain further through the government backed feed in tariff scheme solar energy can provide a company with savings and an additional income potential. However, choosing the right company to undertake the work can seem daunting. Such a big installation will require a company that knows exactly what they are doing.

Introduction

The Benefits of Polycrystalline Solar Panels

There are several types of solar panels available on the market today and all have their own applications. Monocrystalline versions are considered the most efficient but for many applications, where efficiency has to be well balanced with cost, polycrystalline PV panels can work out to be the best option. Suntech STP 180 modules use polycrystalline technology which makes them only slightly less powerful and a lot less expensive. Altogether a very cost-effective solution for home use especially.

Solar Panels

It has long been accepted by environmental activists that using solar panels to generate electricity is by far the cleanest method of energy generation. There are no moving parts involved, which means that they are virtually maintenance free and they do not generate harmful by-products of the power production process, as does the burning of fossil fuels. Suntech solar panels are the result of 10 years of solid research and development into manufacturing one of the World's most durable and cost-effective solar energy products.

Who are Sharp?

Sharp as a company were founded way back in 1921 when they started to produce the revolutionary EverSharp mechanical pencil from which the company took its name. Since then, Sharp have been at the fore front of bringing new technologies to the UK market including retailing the first Japanese manufactured radios and bringing state of the art music systems to the UK. Ever the leader of the pack for innovative electronic products, Sharp can now offer superior solar panel systems to the UK market.

Judging Solar Panels

There are a number of factors that could be taken into consideration when judging solar panels and deciding which should make it into the top ten. Quality, efficiency, popularity, durability, cost and style are just a few. Some of these elements will be wholly dependent on location and others on personal taste. For those reasons, the following list of top ten solar panels are not arranged in any particular order of importance.

Sharp Solar Panels

Sharp has been involved in solar power research since 1959 and introduced the world’s first solar powered calculator in 1980. Sharp began mass production of solar cells in 1963 and in the same year the first solar powered life buoy used Sharp solar panels for its operation. Sharp has long been involved in supplying space satellites with Sharp solar panels. The Sharp NU range of solar panels, are designed for use with solar panel systems with high power requirements.
