Producing Free electricity direct from the sun
Solar PV utilises the sun’s free potential energy and uses PV cells to turn it into usable electricity, which in turn can be used in a domestic capacity to run regular household appliances.
One of the main benefits to the UK renewable market is that you do not need direct sunlight to generate electricity; the pv system has the capacity to produce a certain amount of electricity even in overcast conditions.
PV cells can be attached to your walls or roof depending on the optimum angle for achieving the greatest energy return.
The cells are made up of semiconducting material which create electric fields when sunlight is applied, the greater the amount of sun light hitting the material the more electricity (measured in kWp) will be produced, therefore increased financial savings.
Key benefits-
- Generate an income from Feed-in-Tariffs (FiT)
- Every kilowatt of electricity you produce will be rewarded regardless of whether you use it yourself or sell it back to the grid
- Reduce your electric bill
- The sun’s energy is a free and renewable source, meaning that when you have covered the installation costs of the technology your bills will reduce
- Reduction in your carbon footprint
Solar systems do not discharge any carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. It is estimated that a PV system installed on a typical property could save around one tonne of CO2 per annum.
If you would like to book a FREE roof survey we would be happy to carry out a solar survey on your roof to work out if it is suitable and what the predicted return would be.
