Solar PV is a renewable energy system which uses cells to convert sunlight into electricity. The PV cells consist of thin layers of a semi-conducting material, usually silicon, which generates an electric charge when exposed to daylight (rather than heat). The greater the intensity of the light, the greater the flow of electricity.
THE BENEFITS OF CHOOSING SOLAR PV
- Significantly reduces/eliminates your electricity bills.
- A sound and guaranteed financialinvestment that is likely to increase the value of your home.
- New feed in tariff due April 1st 2010 makes solar PV an attractive investment and gives on average a 10%-15% return.
- Allows you to take control of ever increasing energy price rises.
- Uses free energy from the sun, emits no pollutants, uses no fuel and creates no waste which makes Solar PV an amazingly green solution.
- Solar PV doesn’t need direct sunlight to work and even works on cloudy days.
- PV systems are designed for long service life and backed by a performance warranty of 25 years which means our systems deliver energy for many years to come.
- Planning permission is no longer required under permitted development laws.* Reduce our carbon footprint.
- Solar panels are simple to install and there are many different options available to suit your requirements.
- Cables attached to the cells are connected to an inverter which converts the DC (Direct Current) electricity produced to usable AC (Alternating Current) electricity which can be used as power.
- The electricity produced by Solar PV can be used to drive any appliance that is powered by electricity.
- Converting Sunlight into electricity has made great strides in the last 5 years and is now a viable option for the uk climate. With our solar PV system it works using natural daylight and all energy generated is used by either powering your home or sold back to the national grid.
SPECIAL FEATURES OF A SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC (PV) ELECTRICTY SYSTEM
Install any size system, dependant upon your needs, and significantly reduce your electricity bills & reduce your co2 emissions.
Any excess electricity generated is sold back to the national grid for more than you are charged for it. It will produce electricity and earn you money whilst you are at work or on holiday.
Solar panels increase the value of your home with the latest independent studies reporting that two thirds of buyers are prepared to pay up to £10,000 more for an energy efficient home.
Our PV system is grid connected which means electricity does not have to be stored in batteries which have a limited lifespan.
