Solar PV (photovoltaic) systems generate electricity when sunlight falls on solar panels which are normally made of crystalline silicon and mounted on the roof of the home or other building. Although a great deal of energy is consumed in the manufacture of PV systems, one installed they should continue to produce virtually free electricity for up to 20 years. - Description added by: www.microchap.info + Add your own description
Transport is responsible for a large proportion of carbon emissions. As high carbon fossil fuels are largely used to power all types of transport - from road to rail, marine to aviation - carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change. Using public transport and technologies to improve energy efficiency, hybrid vehicles, electric vehicles, bio fuels and fuel cell vehicles are all vital components in helping to reduce our carbon emissions from transport. - Description added by: David Lockie + Add your own description
