Solar panels 'are cost and time-effective'

Posted by Greg Throughton


Homeowners and those with Truma caravan water heaters may like to consider using solar panels as a long-term cost-effective way of heating a mobile home.


Solar panel installation could bring long-lasting advantages to owners who would reap cost benefits of the systems for years to come, states the BSolar and Energy Foundation.


According to BSolar and Energy, the panels will generate electricity in a clean and environmentally friendly way for over 25 years without repair or maintenance requirements.


"Anything you can do now is going to be good for not just the immediate future, but the long-term future as well in keeping down household bills and ideally making some money as well as saving some," said Peter Bladen, managing director of the company.


These comments come as the government halved the amount of subsidiaries available for solar panel installation, but ministers insist that they are focusing on encouraging methods of cleaner energy.
