Solar energy and the environment

If you want to move with the times, it is important to think about the future. In Italy it is always a nice temperature and the sun shines a lot. The sun gives off a lot of heat here.

In terms of heat and the sun, there are options to make use of it. The sun is then an important element when it comes to generating energy. The best way is to generate energy with solar panels and/or solar panels.

This can be done in two ways. Solar panels to generate electricity. Storage in 2 batteries of 5KW each. And of course, in the event of overcapacity, this is included in the network to help fellow users. This includes the use of air conditioning and other components (such as an electric hob, hairdryer, etc.), not to mention the swimming pool pump here in the B&B. The swimming pool pump and air conditioning are the most important elements in the use of the B&B. How nice is it to use the energy of the sun.

To use hot water, there is a boiler or geyser to heat it. The boiler (2 pieces 300Ltr and 200Ltr water storage) is heated by means of 3 solar panels. The energy (gas) of the boiler/geyser is reduced because the water is heated by the solar panels. If there is enough heat from the solar panels, the boiler or geyser will (almost) not come into operation. This way I make a nice contribution to the environment. And we could all do that.
