What are Solar Panels
Solar panels, or photovoltaics (PV), capture the sun’s energy and convert it into electricity to use in your home.
Installing solar panels lets you use free, renewable, clean electricity to power your appliances. You can sell extra electricity to the grid or store it for later use.
How do solar panels work?
When the sun shines on a solar panel, solar energy is absorbed by individual PV cells. These cells are made from layers of semi-conducting material, most commonly silicon.
The PV cells produce an electrical charge as they become energised by the sunlight. The stronger the sunshine, the more electricity generated. But cells don’t need direct sunlight to work and can even work on cloudy days.
This electrical charge creates a direct current (DC) of electricity.
The direct current passes through a solar inverter to turn it into alternating current (AC) electricity.
You need AC electricity to run your household appliances.
The scheme
This is a new scheme for Solar panels including a battery, thus giving you all the energy the panels produce.
This is not a free scheme, but qualification is based on the monthly savings on your bill outweighing the monthly cost of the panels,
therefore costing you nothing extra each month. The panels MUST produce enough savings on your bill to cover the monthly cost or the application will be rejected.
This is not “Rent a roof” as this scheme you own the panels once the term has ended.
Please note that all measures are subject to the property receiving a satisfactory survey from one of our qualified installers and being technically and financially feasible within the programme.
Register your interest now.
We will contact you to arrange for one of our team to call you and run through the scheme, the process and the costs.
This will include producing a bespoke report on the potential savings solar panels would give you.
You are then left to decide if the scheme is right for you.
