Green Energy

If you are interested in investing in green energy for your property then JKS Electrical can help.

Green energy is a good medium term investment; it starts saving you money from completion of the installation and after a few years it has paid for itself and goes on saving you money.

Solar Thermal hot water heating has been used in other European countries for many years but is still seen as being new in the UK. It has been used to great success all over the UK and is now regularly seen on our roof tops especially as all new-build properties must now have some form of renewable energy thanks to the Governments recent "code for sustainable homes".

Solar thermal, uses the sun’s energy to heat water which complements a traditional boiler and helps to reduce fuel bills by as much as 70% as well as helping the environment. The energy produced is emission free and wholly sustainable source that will reduce your carbon footprint. Every kilowatt hour of clean energy produced saves around 0.54 kg of carbon dioxide emissions.

PhotoVoltaic, or PV, is a slightly newer technology than solar thermal and the principles are simple. A chemical reaction generates electrical current within the panels (which again are usually found on the roof of a building) and this electricity can then be used in the home to power appliances which have traditionally been solely reliant on the national grid and its fossil fuels.

The idea behind a typical domestic installation is to cover the "base load". This covers appliances such as fridges, low level lighting and any other low demand but constant draws. It is not designed to cover all electrical demands such as kettles, irons etc as they have high power requirements and would require much larger PV installations.

Solar PV panels can be used in both urban and rural locations; they require a south or near south facing roof or ground area. Installations are normally complete in a week and connection to the building’s electricity supply is relatively simple.
