Homeowners may find that solar panelling can improve the energy efficiency of kitchens and should not let Britains lack of sunshine dissuade them from buying the equipment, says an expert.Many people still believe that overcast weather will lead to the technology becoming ineffective, though this is just a misconception, a spokesman from Beyond Building Solar has claimed.Ian Reilly, business development manager at the company, said Fortunately, solar power doesnt rely purely on beautiful sunny days. It can be a reflected light coming through from cloud cover as well, and it will still operate to a certain extent on those days.Mr Reilly also noted that solar panelling represents a very good investment for homeowners, who many already be making adjustments to home features such as kitchen taps this spring.Earlier this month, the first anniversary of the Feed-in Tariffs scheme was celebrated. The initiative was set up by the previous government to encourage domestic renewable energy installation.
