One of the easiest ways to harness a little of the energy from the sun is through the simple technology of solar thermal. Heating things with the energy of the sun is nothing new, even here in the UK. But what's the difference between solar thermal and solar PV? And why could our favorite renewable be under threat?
If you use storage heaters to heat your home, chances are you’re already on an Economy 7 tariff. This tariff is designed to make it more affordable to heat with electricity, and is intended to work in tandem with a night storage heating system.

Some things seem simply better overseas. From the flawless healthcare of Sweden to the simmering sunshine of Spain, sometimes we might be forgiven for thinking that Europeans have it better, at least in some ways. But when it comes to bills, there is often more of a disparity than we might have expected. At home it seems that we have been facing persistent price increases over recent years, with energy bills rising at up to eight times the rate of earnings in 2013.
