Solar PV (Photo Voltaic)

Solar electricity systems capture the sun's energy using photovoltaic (PV) cells. These cells convert daylight into electricity, which can be used to run appliances and lighting. 

The Government would like more homeowners to produce their own electricity by fitting Solar Panels.

How do PV cells work?
PV cells are made from layers of semiconducting materials that emit electrons when exposed to daylight. As the electrons flow across the semiconducting layers a DC current is produced. When cells are grouped together in panels, significant amounts of electricity can be generated.

Panels are normally fitted on a south facing part of your building – usually on the roof but there are other options such as walls or A-frames. The strength or rating of a PV panel is measured in kilowatt peak (kWp) – this is the amount of energy the panel generates in full sunlight.

Our Solar PV (Photovoltaic) systems are affordable and reliable, but what they do best is produce electricity from daylight (even on cloudy days).

Producing your own solar electricity offers the opportunity to make an annual return of up to 10% of your investment, Index Linked against inflation and Tax Free.

• Earn guaranteed income
• Save on electricity costs
• Generate clean, green, renewable power
• Reduce your carbon footprint

 
This can typically offer an income & saving of around £1,200 per year*

Free Solar Panel Option
We could install a system FREE of charge. You would get all the electricity it produces for FREE for the next 25 years. This can dramatically reduce your energy bills.

 *based on a 3 kW system installed on a south facing, 45 degree roof with little or no shading and annual solar radiation of 989
kWh/year. This assumes 50% of the electricity generated is exported. The figure may vary depending on how much is exported.
