Solar energy is becoming more and more popular with both domestic and commercial customers alike.An increasing focus on the perils of climate change has led to a surge in interest regarding renewable energy sources and you don’t have to travel far before you find roof mounted solar panels.  With such interest showing no signs of slowing, solar panels are bound to become more and more part of our everyday lives.How do they Work?When photons or light particle hits the surface of a Photo Voltaic (PV) cell, they knock electrons loose from their atoms.  Where conductors are attached to the positive and negative sides of a cell, this forms an electrical current through which the electrons can flow and generate electricity. These PV cells are linked together to form a solar panel and, in some cases, panels are linked together to form an array. Each of these cells work together in the light of the sun to generate electricity which is fed to an inverter.  The inverter converts the DC current i

There’s lots of articles out there about leveraging increased sale from your website and with online business forming such an important part of many firm’s sales offerings these days, I’m always interested to read them.One thing that consistently gets a mention is the quality of the images and videos that you use to present your products. When a potential buyer can’t see and touch your products in person, it’s really important for them to feel that they can at least look at them in some detail on your website before making a purchase. Folk are so used to shopping online now that high quality images that can be zoomed into, really will be enough for them to decide if the product is right for them or not.  Without this, there’s a chance that they will be unsure of the quality and move onto the next retailer.Most clothing web sites already offer photographs of outfits that you can rotate and zoom in and pan across the product. The 360 degree rotation approach seems very popular with shoes

Solar panel inspections can be a time intensive exercise when you are using a ground operative to check each panel individually in a solar farm field.However, when the solar panels are installed on a pitched roof, the problems of checking panel health become compounded. An operative who is required to check roof mounted panels with a hand held thermal imaging device will need either scaffolding or an elevated platform to gain access to the panels and, as well as occurring additional expense, these still might not be enough to allow access to central panels.  This could mean that these panels cannot be assessed or there will be additional risk to the panels themselves as the operative has to move across them in order to carry out the inspection. However, add a drone equipped with a state of the art thermal imaging camera and place this drone in the hands of a qualified thermographer, and the process becomes not only faster, but simpler, safer and more cost effective.Drone Media Imaging

With most of the travel rules regarding Covid testing, and restrictions being relaxed in the UK, many people are starting to feel confident enough to make travel plans.  However, after such a long time without that being possible, your passport may have expired whilst it was languishing at the back of the drawer.It’s so easy to overlook this – especially as the rules have now changed and your passport now expires ten years from the issue date rather than having the additional 6 months to the expiry date as it did in the pre-Brexit world.  It would be a shame to miss out on your long hoped for holiday plans over something as simple and avoidable as a passport expiry.Most passport applications now take place online and this is being encouraged by the Passport Office as the fast, cheapest, and most efficient way to update your passport.  One of the easiest ways that you can make your application sail through the process with no problems is to take extra care when it comes to your passport
