a solar panel. david has applied for a patent for his creation and will take it first to spain where these types of blinds are more common. installations begin later this year. and he is also in talks with a london authority which wants to fit them to council flats. so for this size of window it would generate around 10%, 15% of your energy needs, and this is a three bedroom house. so between a hot summer or a cool winter, the amount of energy you could generate would be probably about ten, 15% less during winter compared to summer. so not much difference? not that much, no. and with this new solar film it generates energy in cloudier climates compared to silicon panels. another good thing about solar film is that it is scalable. some places have more roof space than of course.
so for reasons of cost savings as well as the environment, this rugby stadium has decided now is the time to cover its stands in a new, lightweight solar film. there is an estimated 2.5 billion square metres of south facing commercial roof space in the uk. and a lot of it wouldn t have enough strength to support weighty, traditional solar panels. so the panels will pay 15p per kilowatt hour. that is half or less than half of what the current cost of electricity is so that is a significant saving for us. if you ve got a big roof or big area of land, i don t know why you wouldn t consider this as a viable option. i mean, you know, it uses an asset you cannot really use for any other purpose. it saves you money. and it s good for the planet.
