Solar PV

Solar PV (Photovoltaic system) is a popular way to capture solar energy directly from the sun in order to produce AC electricity and feed directly into your home consumer unit and back into the grid.

WHY SHOULD I INVEST IN SOLAR PV?

Sunlight is free so after you initial installation costs you can reap the benefits. With the UK government renewable heat incentive payments alongside the cut in fuel bills using PV panels, you can receive an excellent return on your investment. Up to 10% per year for 20 years!

Providing you have a southerly facing roof or garden with the space available to install Solar PV panels, you can gain from free electricity along side some great investment returns. Solar PV installations can be covered under the FIT Scheme so you can earn extra income simply by installing solar panels on your roof.

HOW DOES SOLAR PV WORK?

Solar PV panels work using a combination of solar cells made from layers of semi-conducting material, typically silicon. When sunlight shines on the panels it creates an electric field across the layers. The stronger the sunshine, the more electricity is produced. Groups of cells are mounted together in panels or modules that can be mounted on your roof, on A-Frames on flat roofs or on the ground.
