Solar Energy

Solar energy, the concept has been around for years, original units only able to produce a small amount of "trickle charge" for cell phones and battery operated gate motors etc, however this field is fast developing with some homes now relying completely on solar power, initial set up costs are sometime prohibitive but with recent increases in copper cable and Utility connection fees the gap is closing fast. The payback period for a Solar installation is also drastically improving, if we ever get it right to reverse feed energy back onto the grid for credits then as in Germany for example, then there are no more issues as far as I am concerned. However, realistically we can escape the grid immediately by combining solar, wind and liquid energy (fuel). This is a fantastic position to be in and in South Africa, what a win, as the new song goes, "braaivleis, rugby, sunny skies and solar power"
