The state of solar sustainability

Interesting article about global trends and consumer views regarding solar.

What are your thoughts?



https://www.pv-magazine.com/2019/12/23/the-state-of-solar-sustainability/

pv-magazine.com As part of pv magazine’s UP initiative, we asked our readers how they felt about sustainability in solar, whether they or their customers were willing to do something about it, and how they saw the conflicting goal of profitability.

Power surges that occur during thunderstorms and heavy rains pose a major risk to your electrical equipment. A power surge can destroy your appliances in a fraction of a second. When lightning strikes nearby, it can cause a spike in your home’s electrical wiring. The spike usually lasts for a brief time but it can seriously damage your electrical appliances if you have not taken proper steps to protect your device from these surges.

That is why we recommend APC Surge Protection units. Available today from www.kconline.co.za
