Solar PV

Photovoltaic panels convert the sun's energy into electricity by the use of semiconductors.

Cells are combined and these make up the solar panel and a number of panels connected together make an array.

Photovoltaic panels are maintenance free, have no moving parts and make no noise. Most people have the available space to be able to install a starter system that can easily be added too.

Site selection is important with PV as unlike their thermal counterpart the PV arrays performance will drop significantly when shaded. Solar tracking systems can be installed to achieve extra output.

Panels should be mounted onto a south facing roof or floor, they can also be pole mounted. It is very easy to achieve a productive Solar PV system within limited available space.

We work with a number of suppliers and can supply a number of different PV products best suited to your individual needs.

PV systems can be battery based or Grid-tied with the use of a Grid-tie inverter.

To ensure an appropriate system design it is important to understand the full energy requirements of your home /business.

Solar PV can be installed for about £5500 per KW which would include PV panels and the Grid Tie equipment to connect to your mains supply.
