Why Install Solar Photovoltaic Panels?

Cost Savings
Solar PV systems generate free electricity, meaning property owners can reduce their electricity bill significantly. Any excess electricity may be sold back to the grid at a profit, monitored using a smart meter.

Building Regulations

Reduce COâ‚‚ Emissions
With rising fossil fuel prices and the continuing challenges of climate change, the demand for solar PV systems increases. This year, renewables have supplied 37% of Britain’s electricity.

PV Solar Systems
What is Photovoltaic Technology?
Solar Photovoltaic (PV) systems convert sunlight into electrical energy, providing the building with a free source of power.
Through government subsidies and power purchase agreements, these systems can offer significant cost savings for tenants and lucrative returns on investment for owners, whilst reducing COâ‚‚ emissions for everyone.
Solar PV systems consist of several photovoltaic cells connected in larger chains, known as modules or panels. Panels can be further connected in larger arrays to increase the power output of the system. Due to its modular structure, solar photovoltaic systems can be scaled to meet almost any electric power need, small or large.
Generate Renewable Energy
How Do Solar PV Systems Work?
Photovoltaic cells harness solar power by absorbing photon energy at the surface. The incoming photons dislodge electrons from the atoms within the material of the cells, thereby generating an electric current.
The surface of PV panels is specifically designed to be receptive to this effect so that when sunlight strikes, a charge imbalance is created between the front and back of the panel, similar to the positive and negative terminals of a battery. When connected to an external load, electricity starts to flow, which is then used to power electrical appliances.

Optimal Solar Performance and PV Installation Longevity
Solar PV System Maintenance
With no moving parts, solar PV systems generally require very low maintenance and offer an impressive operational lifetime. That being said, proper care and precautions are still necessary to ensure the longevity and seasonal efficiency of your system.
A specialist can identify potential problems before they happen, saving you money on repair and solar PV reactive maintenance costs. With regular servicing, you can rectify any damage before the issue worsens or failure occurs.
