Harnessing our Welsh sunshine
In Wales, we receive on average, 1,390 sunshine hours each year, which could potentially be converted to electricity. If we could capture and convert a small fraction of that, we would need no other source of generation to meet all our energy needs. The technology to capture this energy is photovoltaics, which harnesses the sun鈥檚 rays and converts the energy into electricity which can then be used locally or fed into the national grid.
