Solar Power

Just had the most unexpected conversation yesterday about the use of solar power in Singapore, with the most unlikely of all persons. The owner of the battery shop decided he wanted to chat with me about solar panels and the works when all I intended to do was to buy a battery charger for the car.

It turned out to be a rather interesting chat and it has piqued my interest in the possibility of experimenting with this 'green' technology.

Instead of investing huge sums of money, the rough idea is to experiment first to discover the possibilities and practicalities before moving on and investing more heavily in it. I am not quite sure how much it will translate to in cost savings, however, one must realised that this is a mindset and commitment to go 'green' rather than to achieve monetary rewards.

The whole idea is still at the planning stage. So we will see how this pans out.

In the meantime, a site to tell you more about hooking your place to the sun
