Solar PV

Solar PVA Solar Photovoltaic (PV) system uses energy from the sun to generate electricity for use in the home. It relies on daylight to generate power through the use of photovoltaic cells within roofmounted panels. The collectors are simple to install, and they fix to a roof in the same way that Solar Thermal panels do. The electricity produced by Solar PV can be used to drive any electric appliance. An inverter (usually situated in the loft) converts the DC current into usable AC current that can then be used to provide power.

 

How ‘Green’ is Grant Solar PV?

Solar PV is a renewable energy source that does not require the burning of fossil fuels, and does not leave a carbon footprint as it generates no carbon dioxide. It makes no noise, emits no pollutants, creates no waste and uses no fuel, thus meaning it is a VERY green energy supply.

In addition, it is possible to sell back any excess electricity generated to the National Grid at predetermined costs per unit of measure, thereby contributing to the overall cost efficiency of the system. (check with your local energy provider for more information)

When considering such a system as this, a pre site survey is recommended from a qualified installer. This will determine the exact specifications of the system required, to achieve the maximum operating and cost efficiency for the home.
