HOW SOLAR POWER WORKS
Solar power converts sunlight into electricity or heat using solar panels. Photons hitting a semiconductor surface create DC electricity, which is then converted to AC by an inverter for use in homes and businesses. Solar thermal panels directly heat water stored in a cylinder for hot water and heating. Systems range from small residential rooftops to large solar farms spanning acres of land. By integrating EV Projects, we can also help you power electric vehicles using your solar energy, making your home more sustainable.
CLEAN AND RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCE
Solar PV is a renewable, infinite energy source with zero harmful greenhouse gas emissions. Panels last over 25 years, and materials are increasingly recycled. Using solar reduces reliance on fossil fuels and supports low-carbon living. Following the process of professional installation ensures your solar PV and battery storage systems are designed for maximum efficiency and long-term performance.
SOLAR POWER ON CLOUDY DAYS
Solar panels still generate electricity in daylight, even when cloudy.
Production varies with sunlight, but cold temperatures do not reduce efficiency. Snow can improve output by cleaning panels and reflecting sunlight, making solar viable year-round.
UK SOLAR ENERGY AND GOVERNMENT TARGETS
The UK’s first transmission-connected solar farm was energised in May 2023, generating over 73,000 MWh annually, enough to power 17,300 homes and displace 20,500 tons of CO2.
Government plans aim for up to 70 GW of solar by 2035, powering around 20 million homes.
IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT SOLAR PV AND BATTERY STORAGE
Advantages: renewable energy, lower carbon emissions, higher home value, reduced electricity bills, and income via the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG).
Factors to consider: production depends on weather, though cold and reflective snow can improve efficiency. Solar panels require low maintenance and have a lifespan of 25+ years.
