Solar Power
How it works?
Solar Cells
(really called "photovoltaic", "PV" or "photoelectric" cells) that convert light directly into electricity

In a sunny climate, you can get enough power to run a 100W light bulb from just one square metre of solar panel.
This was originally developed in order to provide electricity for satellites, but these days many of us own calculators powered by solar cells.

People are increasingly installing PV panels on their roofs. This costs thousands of pounds, but if you have a south-facing roof(in the southhemisphere it should face north ) it can help with your electricity bills quite a bit, and the government pays you for any extra energy you produce and feed back into the National Grid (called the "feed-in tariff").
But what do solar panels cost?
How much might they generate for you?
What's the "payback time" until the money you've saved on bills is more than the cost of installation?
