Belarus
This new, thoroughly updated edition of Bradt's Belarus remains the only full-blown standalone guide to the most westerly of the constituent republics that formed the Soviet Union prior to the break-up in 1991.Written and updated by expert author and Russian speaker Nigel Roberts, who has been travelling throughout the country for over 17 years, it is the definitive guide to understanding, and making the most of a visit to this much-misunderstood nation.Included in this new edition is a detailed focus on the capital city Minsk, the most likely destination for first-time travellers and now becoming a major European capital city thanks to an easing of visa regulations, as well as coverage of each of the other five cities and all six regions.Roberts draws on his years of experience and shares many stories and vignettes of his own adventures and experiences of everyday life, all of which help to bring the destination to life.In addition, there are recommendations and tips from his wide circle of contacts, including people at all levels of the tourism industry, charities working on the ground, local people and travellers from abroad, who regularly share details of up-to-the-minute information, changes and developments. With Bradt's Belarus enjoy the opportunity to put the cliché to the test; only ever described by Western media as 'the last dictatorship in Europe', travellers certainly do have the opportunity to experience elements of life as it was lived in the days of the Soviet Union but can also see beyond the cliché as Belarus seeks to free itself from the Soviet past and establish its own heritage and place in the modern world.Discover beautifully preserved and restored museum towns such as Mir, Njasvizh, Novogrudok, Pinsk and Polotsk; see Soviet-style brutalist and modernist architecture; explore accessible national parks and vast areas of unspoilt wilderness, with ample opportunity to study flora and fauna; visit historic palaces and castles stunningly restored; and enjoy the unconditional hospitality of a people who are anxious to interact with visitors from the English-speaking world.

Renewable Energy from Wind and Solar Power: Law and Regulation
In a world that is shifting away from fossil fuels in response to the threat of climate change, the UK’s low carbon policies have seen renewable electricity capacity increase by more than three times since 2010. The future is clearly one of unremitting growth in electricity generation from wind and solar farms.Renewable Energy from Wind and Solar Power: Law and Regulation is concerned with the law and regulation of electricity generation in the case of the two most popular sources of energy derived from renewable resources.It covers up-to-date national policy and guidance relevant to electricity generation collected from renewable resources.There is also coverage of the powers of local planning authorities and of the Secretary of State, along with devolved powers in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, in dealing with onshore and offshore energy projects along with the impact of Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects under the 2008 Act.This book also covers consents under sections 36 (onshore and offshore wind generation) and 37 (overhead lines) of the Electricity Act 1989 and the grant of FEBA licences from the Marine and Fisheries Agency in the case of offshore consents.The availability of financial assistance for the generation and export of renewable energy to the grid is also dealt with, and there are several case studies examining a number of recent decisions of the courts, the Secretary of State, inspectors and reporters, involving wind and solar energy proposals.Renewable Energy from Wind and Solar Power: Law and Regulation will be an invaluable reference for lawyers, planning professionals and operators in the relevant sectors.It will also be of interest to others in showing how the industry is developing and of the regulatory processes involved in securing consents for the commercial development of energy from wind and solar power.

Is solar energy renewable?
Yes, solar energy is renewable because it is derived from the sun, which is a virtually limitless source of energy. The sun's energy is constantly being replenished and will continue to do so for billions of years. This makes solar energy a sustainable and renewable source of power that can be harnessed for electricity generation and other applications.

Why is Belarus called Belarus?
Belarus is called Belarus because the name is derived from the Old East Slavic word "бѣлъ" (bělŭ) meaning "white" and "русь" (rus') meaning "Rus". The combination of these two words gives the meaning "White Rus" or "White Russia". This name is believed to have originated from the white clothing worn by the early Slavic people who inhabited the region. The name "Belarus" was officially adopted in 1991 when the country gained independence from the Soviet Union.
-
Why is Belarus now called Belarus?
Belarus was previously known as Byelorussia, a name that originated from the Russian language meaning "White Russia." However, the country's leadership and citizens wanted to emphasize their distinct national identity and move away from the association with Russia. Therefore, in 1991, after gaining independence from the Soviet Union, the country officially changed its name to Belarus, which means "White Ruthenia" in the Belarusian language, reflecting its historical ties to the region of Ruthenia. This name change was part of a broader effort to assert Belarus's sovereignty and cultural heritage.

Who pays for the mandatory installation of solar panels?
The mandatory installation of solar panels is typically paid for by the property owner or developer. In some cases, government incentives or rebates may be available to help offset the cost of installation. However, ultimately the responsibility for paying for the installation of solar panels falls on the individual or entity that owns the property where the panels are being installed.

What are solar panels?
Solar panels are devices that convert sunlight into electricity. They are made up of photovoltaic cells that capture the sun's energy and convert it into usable electricity. Solar panels are typically installed on rooftops or in open areas where they can receive maximum sunlight exposure. They are a sustainable and renewable energy source that helps reduce reliance on fossil fuels and decrease carbon emissions.

What should I consider when it comes to Solar Energy? Solar panels, batteries, and inverters.
When considering solar energy, it is important to assess your energy needs and consumption to determine the size and number of solar panels required. Additionally, you should consider the type and capacity of batteries needed to store excess energy generated by the solar panels for use during periods of low sunlight. Lastly, choosing the right inverter is crucial as it converts the direct current (DC) electricity produced by the solar panels into alternating current (AC) electricity that can be used to power your home. It is essential to ensure that all components are compatible and properly sized for optimal performance and efficiency.
-
Can solar panels with different power outputs be mixed?
Yes, solar panels with different power outputs can be mixed in a solar array. However, it is important to consider the impact this may have on the overall performance of the system. Mixing panels with different power outputs may lead to uneven power production and could potentially reduce the efficiency of the system. It is recommended to consult with a solar energy professional to determine the best configuration for your specific needs.
