Solar & The Environment
Solar Thermal products such as Suninter solar thermal systems help to greatly reduce CO₂ emissions. Installing just one Suninter collector can reduce CO₂ levels as much as planting more than 500 trees and is the perfect choice for people wanting to become part of the solution by reducing their carbon footprint.
By using renewable energy sources such a Solar Thermal, Solar PV, Wind, Hydro and Geothermal, reliance on fossil fuels can be minimised, thus directly reducing CO₂ emissions. On average for every 1kWh of energy produced by a coal power station, 1kg (2.2pound) of CO₂ is produced. Burning natural gas for electricity production or water heating produces about 450grams of CO₂ for every kWh of energy produced.
In the average household, water heating accounts for around 30% of CO₂ emissions. By installing a solar water heater, which can provide between 50-70% of your hot water heating energy needs, you can reduce your total CO₂ emissions by more than 20%.
