Solar panels have no moving parts. This means they require minimal maintenance and can last for 25–30 years.

Solar panels can increase a home's value by up to 4%. They also reduce monthly electricity bills significantly.

The cells making up the panel are coated in blue, as darker colours absorb more light, which helps the panels work more efficiently.

Solar panels work even on cloudy days. They can still generate up to 25% of their normal power output during overcast conditions.

Solar panels actually work better in cold weather. Cool temperatures increase their efficiency in converting sunlight to electricity.

The Brechin Castle Solar Facility in Couva is built on a former sugar estate, representing Trinidad and Tobago's shift from traditional to renewable energy.

The Brechin Castle solar farm is expected to power around 31,500 homes every year.

The Brechin Castle Solar Facility helps reduce Trinidad and Tobago's carbon emissions, showing how industrial sites can be transformed for renewable energy.

The Brechin Castle Solar Facility creates local jobs in renewable energy, supporting both environmental sustainability and economic growth.

Solar energy is over 4.5 billion years old. Our sun has been providing energy since the formation of our solar system.

Solar energy is completely renewable and will be available for billions of years. It's one of the cleanest power sources available.

The sun provides more energy in one hour than the entire world uses in one year.

Solar power has been used in space since 1958. Satellites and space stations rely on solar energy for their operations in orbit.

Every hour, enough sunlight reaches Earth to power the entire planet for a year, making solar our most abundant natural resource.

Using solar energy for one home has the same impact as planting 150 trees, significantly reducing carbon footprint.

Solar energy can power everything from calculators to entire cities. The technology is scalable from tiny devices to massive power plants.

Solar-powered cars can travel up to 60 mph, demonstrating the potential of solar energy in transportation.

The first solar cell was invented in 1883. Modern solar panels are over 100 times more efficient than those early designs.
