Windstalker
The windstalker concept involves tall, grass like structures that use piezoelectric material to harness electricity through the wind's kinetic energy.
VIVACE
Harnessing vibrations from oceans, this technology is extracting energy from flowing water currents, which is different to conventional marine power.
Solar Updraft Towers
Solar updraft towers use solar energy to create strong updraft currents that can be harnessed to drive conventional turbines that produce electricity.
Heat Pumps and Planning Permission
Do I need planning permission for a heat pump? Ground and water source heat pumps Usually, unless you live in a listed property or conservation area, ground and water source heat pumps are considered a permitted development. You shouldn’t need…
Introduction to Solar PV
There are several different components in your solar PV system, this section looks at the types of solar panel available and the different types of inverter
Types of Solar PV Setup
Do you dream of being independent from the grid, or are you simply to lower your bills? Find different types of Solar PV setup that you can install.
Solar Energy From Space
Technology that captures solar power in orbit where it is constant and stronger than on Earth. This then gets beamed & converted to electricity.
Piezoelectric Materials
Placing mechanical stress on a piezoelectric materials can create an electric current, so activities like dancing or running has the potential to power a city.
Nanotechnology
Nanotechnology has many uses in energy with a prime focus to make sure materials become more efficient in transporting and storing electrical energy.
Bioethanol Electricity
Bioethanol is a renewable energy source created when plant materials ferment. It is used as a fuel with low greenhouse gas emitting properties.
