• This month marks the 50th Anniversary of the discovery of the technology that changed the production of solar panels!
  • It is the scientific breakthrough that is now the basis of over 90% of all the world's silicon solar panels.
  • In 1974, Martin Green was a PhD candidate in the Department of Engineering at the University of NSW when he began his interest in solar energy.
  • While there were solar panels already available their efficiency in terms of energy produced (watts) was extremely low. He set out to remedy this.

* Two 'problems' with solar panels and reasons for 'why I'm not installing them' that are said to me constantly are that 'manufacturing solar panels uses a lot of [fossil-fuel) energy' and 'they can't be recycled - we're going to have our rubbish dumps filled with old solar panels'!

 WRONG! JUST ANOTHER TWO MYTHS THAT NEED TO BE CHALLENGED AND CORRECTED!

* In latest developments researchers at Macquarie University, Sydney have made two significant discoveries in the manufacture and recycling of solar panels! 

* Some of the biggest energy providers in Australia are our very worst emissions polluters!

* Recent study by CHOICE shows several of our biggest electricity providers are also the biggest polluters!

*You may well be surprised - even those purported to be offering 'green energy' - for a price! 

Check it out on the CHOICE website - you can easily get a one-off entry! - or you can join!

* Check to see if you are being supplied by one of the big polluters - then get advice about how easy it is to change!

* We've established that cooking or heating with gas is not the best thing to do for anyone who suffers from any sort of asthma or lung condition - because up to 30% of the gas goes into the room and not into the cooking!

* Well now we've also established a similar impact on our health! Increasing air pollution from burning fossil fuels in motor vehicles!

*11,000 Australians now die every year from diseases attributed to air pollution! This is more than die from skin cancers!
