The Swedish furniture firm Ikea have recently announced that
they will be introducing solar panel
Previously, you would have had to go through an industry
specialist to achieve solar panelling for your household. Now though, it
appears as if solar energy is becoming what is considered the norm. What used
to be an odd commodity is now found on many house roofs. How has this once
elite way of producing energy achieved such recent success?
Due to energy usage needing to be more conservational,
there’s been a growing demand to utilise more natural resources. The sun is a
potentially unlimited source of energy and because of this, the solar cable has
been a great innovation over the last 10 years.
The process is known as photovoltaic, the method named for
harnessing solar radiation and turning it into an energy source. Studies show
that as of 2012, 100 GW was managed in the industry thanks to its being
implemented in over 100 countries worldwide. This is a massive increase from
the 5.4 GWp posted in 2005 and it just goes to show that solar energy has come
a long way.
When compared to the manpower, cost and research needed for
fossil and nuclear fuel energy sources, solar stands out as being much more
effective. The common belief is that once solar energy eventually becomes our
primary energy source, the non-polluting elements of the method will be a great
benefit for Earth and its atmosphere.
One of the main factors to ensure successful solar
harnessing is to have the correct solar cables. Typically, they are formed of
rubber and although robust, lend themselves to degradation after severe weather
exposure. Because of this, the outside layer needs to be of the highest quality
to protect against all ranges of temperatures and climates. National
certification for use is always advised so that the most economically and
practically viable solar cable is found.
