RESIDENTIAL Solar PV
If you’re looking to reduce your energy bills and future proof your home against further increases in the cost of electricity, then solar PV is something for you to consider.
AN INSIGHT INTO RESIDENTIAL SOLAR PV
Solar electricity systems capture the sun’s energy using photovoltaic cells. The cells don’t need direct sunlight to work, they can still generate electricity on a cloudy day, but they do generate more electricity in stronger sunshine. The cells convert the sunlight into electricity, which can be used to run household appliances and lighting. The power of a PV cell is measured in kilowatts peak (kWp). That’s the rate at which it generates energy at peak performance in full direct sunlight during the summer.

Solar panels are lightweight and highly adaptable. Ideally, you need a south, south-east or south west facing roof space that isn’t shaded. Even the smallest space can generate a worthwhile amount of electricity but we wouldn’t recommend installing panels on north-facing roofs.
Generally, installations fall under permitted development rights so planning permission is not required but always check first.
Solar panels are robust and carry warranties of 10-15 years, depending on the manufacturer.
Solar PV panels have no moving parts and need little maintenance, you’ll just need to keep the panels relatively clean and make sure trees don’t begin to overshadow them. Panels are mounted at an angle and in most cases, rain water is sufficient to keep them clean and ensure optimal performance.
