Even when you’re working within the industry, staying on top of the latest innovations and understanding exactly how alternative technologies work isn’t a given. For builders and architects, the team at UK Alternative Energy has put together some informative downloads, so you can get your hands on the latest information, in the click of a button.

How much do you know about Solar Photovoltaic Panels?

Generating clean and renewable energy, Solar PV, as they’re more, commonly known, are an easy way in which to increase your energy efficiency levels. As the general public are opting in to install more solar panels into their home than ever before, reliance on renewables is becoming a regular occurrence, partly due to a 65% decrease in average prices in the last 10 years.

What is Solar PV Battery Storage?

Solar PV Battery Storage has very much come an integral part of the movement towards renewable energy. With the rise in renewable systems continuing, battery storage is vital to maximising the self-consumption of the energy generated through Solar Panels, and reducing energy consumption rates.

Do you know about Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP)?

Air Source Heat Pumps are increasingly popular heating options, thanks to the fact they are cheaper to run than traditionally heating sources. They provide an effective and energy efficient alternative that are easy to install and reduce heating bills by up to 40% year on year.

What do Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHP) do?

Ground Source Heat Pumps (GSHP) are yet another renewable energy system available; this time they’re using the earths natural heat. With a long life expectancy of between 20 – 25 years and low maintenance costs, GSHP’s represent a very carbon-efficient form of space heating.
