Solar Energy Experts for a Greener Future
What are Solar Panels?
Solar panels primarily come in two types: PV (photovoltaic) and thermal. PV panels are the most commonly used type as they convert sunlight into electricity, allowing you to power your home appliances. Solar thermal panels, on the other hand, are used to heat water. Most homes opt for solar PV panels as they efficiently reduce electricity bills.
How Solar Panels Work
Solar electricity panels, also known as photovoltaics (PV), capture the sun's energy and convert it into electricity that you can use in your home. These panels consist of many cells made from layers of semi-conducting material, typically silicon. When light shines on this material, a flow of electricity is created. The cells can work even on cloudy days, although stronger sunshine generates more electricity.
Advantages of Solar Energy
Renewable
Solar energy is one of the most effective and reliable sources of renewable energy. With the continuous advancement of solar technologies, harnessing solar power is becoming better, easier, and more cost-effective. Solar energy is currently the fastest-growing renewable energy source worldwide.
Clean
Solar PV panels have a small carbon footprint, and as the materials used in their production are increasingly recycled, their environmental impact continues to shrink. By choosing solar energy, you contribute to a cleaner and greener future.
Save Money
Installing solar panels can lead to significant decreases in your electricity bills. By generating and utilising your own power, you reduce your reliance on energy suppliers and enjoy the cost-saving benefits of solar energy. The investment in solar panels can pay for itself in 4 years, providing long-term financial benefits.
No Permit Required
Solar panels are typically considered "permitted development," which means you usually don't need a permit to install them on your roof. While there may be some limitations to consider, the installation process is generally hassle-free.
Low Maintenance
Once installed, solar panels require minimal maintenance. Their angled position allows rainwater to wash away dirt and dust, keeping them clean and efficient. With proper care, solar panels can last for over 25 years with little loss in efficiency. They are also backed by a 25-year warranty, ensuring long-term reliability.
Independence
Investing in a solar power system reduces your reliance on the National Grid for electricity. As an energy generator, you can enjoy cheaper electricity throughout the day. Additionally, by incorporating battery storage, you can continue using solar energy even after sunset, further enhancing your energy independence.
Efficient
Solar panels contribute to a more efficient way of generating energy. When you generate power directly from your rooftop, the energy loss that occurs during transmission from power plants to your home is minimized. This results in less wasted energy and a more efficient energy system.
Use Your Own-Generated Energy After Dark
By investing in home solar battery storage, you can use your own electricity day and night, maximizing the benefits of your solar panels. This allows you to continue utilising clean energy even when the sun is not shining.
Property Value
Solar panels are considered a good investment for your home. Current trends in the energy market suggest that a home with solar panels, properly marketed to highlight fuel savings and tariff payments, could command a higher price in the future compared to one without.
