Solar Panels Bring Unintended Benefits

Everyone knows that solar energy is great for the environment and even better for the state of your energy bills. In the last year or so, not a week seems to go by without a broadsheet newspaper or major lifestyle magazine running a feature on the benefits and affordable sustainability of solar energy for homes or businesses.

But until now we've all assumed that the benefits stopped at the energy being cheaper and greener. However, a research team at a prestigious university recently found that even when turned off solar panels help to cool a building during the day and heat it at night. In fact, so dramatic is the contribution made by the panels' insulating qualities that it is estimated to equate to adding a 5 per cent discount to the price of the solar panels over the lifetime of the panels for poorly insulated buildings.

So if your mind wasn't made up before, then how does an effective 5 per cent discount strike you? With energy bills guaranteed to be slashed, a return on your investment within a few short years, boosted green credentials and now a proven improvement on insulation, what really is stopping you from joining the solar energy revolution?
