Wind and solar power are big business these days, which is great news for the environment. And when used in conjunction with LED lights, they can be even more effective – yet another reason why LED light bulbs are the ultimate lighting solution!
More and more people are turning to solar panels as a way to generate electricity for their homes. Provided your house meets certain criteria, you can benefit from having solar panels fitted to your roof. And as sunlight is free, the electricity you’d generate won’t cost you anything.
In fact, it may even make you money in the long run, as any unused electricity you generate can be sold back to the grid. Of course, if you also kit your home out with LED light bulbs, which use far less energy than traditional light bulbs, you’ll use less of your solar-generated electricity and you’ll have more to sell!
The same applies to wind turbines. The UK has 40% of Europe’s total wind resource, so we are definitely well-positioned to harness this particular force of nature! As with solar energy, feed-in tariff schemes are available so you can get paid for the electricity you generate. Again, by using LED lights throughout your house, you will use less of that energy, giving you more to claim back.
With energy prices increasing each year, solar and wind power are becoming increasingly favourable – combine this with LED lighting and you really will be a shining beacon of energy efficiency!
