One thing we like talking about at SellMyMobile.com is green related products that help our environment and look out for future generations. That’s why we wanted to talk about solar panels, and in particular Freetricity who currently offer a free solar panel installation service that has been government backed.

Solar panels are certainly a growing development in the USA, and now it’s the UK’s turn to start reducing carbon footprints, and with government tax credits available to help families go green it’s the ideal way to save money in the long term. As solar panels work by using the suns light to store energy you will no longer need to pay those high energy bills each month as you won’t need to fully rely on the grid. Better still, solar panels can help generate electricity to heat your home, power your lights and TV sets, and provide hot water.

Many people presume that the UK isn’t ideal for solar projects because of the lack of sun we get, however this is a myth as only the light is needed from the sun to produce energy, and not the heat. So even on a cloudy day there is enough light to power your average home. For more information on this we recommend reading through the solar facts and myths section which will help you understand a little more on how solar energy is created and used.

This concept isn’t just open to residential properties either, as commercial, educational and government buildings can all benefit from an eco-friendlier way of living, saving both Co2 and money at the same time.

So if you are finding times tough at the moment, or just want to do your bit for the planet then it’s worth seeing how much you could save each month by switching to solar panels.
