Solar PV

We supply and install high efficiency solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, which enables you to utilise the natural energy resource generated from the sun. Solar PV systems will generate electricity which you can use to run your household appliances.

Domestic Solar Photovoltaics (PV)
Solar PV (photovoltaic) panels convert sunlight into electricity. The free power generated from your solar panel array can then be used to power your home or business or sent back to the grid for others to use! A generation meter is installed to monitor the volume of electricity generated by your solar photovoltaic system.

All solar PV system is made up of several components: solar panels (or ‘modules’), an inverter, a generation meter and your existing consumer unit.

How solar panels work

Photovoltaic cells in the panels turn the light into DC electricity.
The current flows into an inverter, which converts DC to usable AC current.
The current is fed through a generation meter, then into your consumer unit ready for use.
Any electricity you don’t use is exported to be put directly into the grid.

Applications

PV systems are usually (but do not have to be) mounted on the roof of the property. They can be retrofitted on existing premises or built into new developments at the time of construction. They are suitable for single dwellings right up to large industrial and commercial buildings.

Systems are normally connected to the National Grid but can be standalone, off grid. We offer a full design, supply, installation and maintenance service. We design tailor made schemes that make use of multiple renewable technologies that would complement the use of your solar panel installation.

Benefits of PV Solar Panels

Generate your own clean electricity throughout the year.
Reduce your electricity bills and avoid rising fuel costs.
Reduce your carbon footprint.

Maintenance

Solar PV needs little maintenance –you'll just need to keep the panels relatively clean and make sure trees don't begin to overshadow them. In the UK panels that are tilted at 15° or more have the additional benefit of being cleaned by rainfall to ensure optimal performance. Debris is more likely to accumulate if you have ground mounted panels.
