Solar panels
When people talk about solar panels or solar energy, they are usually talking about photovoltaic (PV)
panels. These panels convert energy from the sun directly into electricity. They are commonly found on
calculators, watches and other small electrical devices, but it is becoming increasingly common for people to install
them for their everyday electricity needs.
How does it work?
The panels will usually be placed on the roof of your property, and will be connected straight into your electrical system. The exact area of your panels will be up to you, but we can recommend coverage depending on your needs and budget, and the size and location of your property.
How much will i save?
The amount you will save will depend on your energy usage, the location and orientation of your property and the size of the solar array you choose, and therefore a full consultation and survey is required to give you a quote.
However, there are three areas in which solar panels will work for you:
- The electricity you no longer have to buy
- Selling excess elecritity back to the National Grid
- Payment from the green energy cashback scheme for every unit generated, even if you use it yourself
Between them, these three sources of revenue help to make solar panels a strong investment. They will also increase the value of your property, often by a significant amount.
