Renewable

Renewable energy is derived from renewable natural resources such as wind, rain, sunlight, geothermal heat, and tides. It is referred to as "renewable" because it doesn't run out. You can always get more of it.

People have begun to turn to this type of energy due to rising oil prices, dependence on foreign sources and the prospect that we might one day deplete available sources of fossil fuels, as well as due to concerns about the adverse effects that our conventional energy sources have on the environment. Cooper is committed to helping facilitate the installation of renewable generation through a wide variety of enabling products and solutions.

Wind

Compared with other renewable energy options, wind power is the one leading the way in total capacity added each year; with current worldwide capacity being about 100 GW.

Globally, the long-term potential of wind energy is several times larger than the total current global energy production. As the expansion of wind installations move offshore; average wind speeds are 90% greater than that of land, expanding overall energy generation potential.

Solar

Solar energy is abundant, a never ending resource and only limited by the technologies we have developed to harness it. Solar and wind account for some of the most of the available renewable energy on Earth and we currently only tap into a fraction of their potential.

Active solar technologies deployed today include the use of photovoltaic panels and solar thermal collectors to harness the energy. Cooper Industires has designed and manufacturers a number of solutions which will help you realize the generation potential of Solar.
