Introduction to Solar Thermal - TheGreenAge
http://www.thegreenage.co.uk/tech/solar-heating
Introduction to Solar Thermal. Introduction to Solar Thermal. What is solar thermal? Solar thermal (also known as solar heating) harnesses the energy provided by the sun to provide thermal energy to heat water. The hot water produced by the solar heating can be used to supplement your domestic hot water (although the temperature might need to be topped up by a boiler), larger stores of water (like swimming pools), underfloor heating and for space heating/cooling. Unlike a solar photovoltaic cell. The two...

Introduction To Wind Turbines - TheGreenAge
http://www.thegreenage.co.uk/tech/introduction-to-wind-turbines
Introduction To Wind Turbines. What are wind turbines? Windmills (now in the form of wind turbines) have been used for millennia to convert the wind’s kinetic energy into mechanical energy. As early as 200 B.C., mechanical energy was used for specific tasks including grinding grain and pumping water. Nowadays, the kinetic energy contained in the air can be converted into electricity via a generator. Much like solar PV. In the UK, this type of system has grown enormously in popularity in recent years....

Get Solid Wall Insulation installed with TheGreenAge!
http://www.thegreenage.co.uk/installations/solid-wall-insulation
Solid wall insulation is the single most energy efficient measure that you can install on your property. Around 35% of all heat loss from a domestic property is lost through the walls, so insulating this is crucial in order to reduce bills and increase comfort. Adding EWI Pro’s solid wall insulation system can take an uninsulated property’s U-Value, or speed of heat transfer through an object, to 0.27W/m. We have teamed up with Be Constructive, who have been installing external solid wall insulation thro...
