Solar panels and home batteries
*How we worked out your Solar Savings. The estimated savings you can make with our Solar Savings tariff are based on a 2-3 bedroom home with a medium electricity demand of 2,700kWh (Ofgem), installing a 10 panel system with a 3.68kW inverter and a 10.5kw battery via a Good Energy package. It is estimated that you will export 20-25% of the power you generate.

Solar power: the future of airport infrastructure
In August 2015, Cochin International switched to running on solar power alone, thanks to the more than 46,000 panels installed over a six-month period at a cost of £6.27m. The 12MW plant provides more energy than the site needs, saving some for inclement conditions and night-time operations, while also supporting the state''s grid.
Researchers publish details of solar panel water cooling mechanism
As a result, the panels'' voltage increased by 1.5V-2V, while current decreased by 0.01A-0.03A. The greatest increase in efficiency came during the peak of the day, when the panels grew hottest. At these times, water cooling derived approximately 20% more power than an uncooled control module.
