When light shines on the cell it creates an electric field across the layers, causing electricity to flow. Ideally the roof will be south facing, or near to an angle of 30 degrees for optimum performance. The electricity then flows through a cable and is collected

at a inverter which is often located in the roof space. The electricity is then converted from a direct current(DC) to an alternating current (AC) and carries on into your home for you to use or go back into the grid.

A wall mounted unit can be fitted to allow you to check on performance and usage of your system.

Benefits of PV solar panels

- Government-backed tax free income for 25 years

- Can reduce your electricity bills by up to 100%,

- Silent in operation no moving parts.

- No planning permission needed in most cases.

- Increases the value of your property.

- Surplus electric is sold back to the National Grid.

- Receive 'Renewable Obligation Certificates' (ROCs).

- long functional lifetime of 40+ years.

- Increase the house rating for 'Home Information Packs'.

- The Panels collect energy all year round.

Income from your roof

Solar Panals can be installed on many different types of roof as well as various sizes, from small garage roofs to larger industrial units and schools.

Did you know that a Solar Panel system can reduce your energy bills but also make you money by selling any unused energy back to the grid? This not only helps you financially but also the environment by lowering your CO2 emissions by up to 1000kg p/a. Get paid to generate your own power and make savings with the feed in tariff, rising energy bills and environmental issues are becoming a real concern to us all, Solar Electricity offers a genuine alternative to conventional energy sources.

Almost everything you do has some degree of footprint from heating your house, to catching the train to work, to eating your dinner. You can generate your carbon footprint online at various sites e.g. the governments Carbon Calculator. There are many ways to decrease your carbon footprint, some much easier than others: walking/cycling instead of driving, taking the train instead of flying, recycle more items, turn vegan, and reducing the impact of your home.

read moreThe Feed-In Tariff guarantees a minimum payment for all electricity generated by the system, as well as an additional payment for the unused electricity produced that can be exported to the grid, known as the Generation tariff and Export tariff respectively. These payments will boost household savings as bills will be reduced by using electricity generated from the PV Panels. A set rate paid by the energy supplier for each (kWh) of electricity you generate - TAX FREE. A further 4.5p/kWh from your energy supplier for each unit you export to the grid - Guaranted for 20 Years.

Our aim is to guarantee a high quality experience for consumers wishing to buy energy generation systems for their homes such as Solar PV.
