A modern Solar Panel PV system consists of a series of solar panels connected together to produce electricity. Each solar panel consists of photovoltaic material sandwiched between two semi-conductive materials. When sunlight hits the panels the semi-conductive materials energise producing a direct current.
The direct current (DC) is then passed through an inverter, where it is converted to alternating current (AC), providing the same power as you draw from the national grid. As a result, you can use this renewable / green electricity to power your domestic appliances. Solar Panel PV systems today can be up to 20% efficient in converting sunlight into electricity.
Homes with a south facing roof benefit most from solar panel energy generation, and system size is usually defined by the number of occupants, tropically 1kW for each occupant is ideal.
As the world continues to become more aware of the impact of climate change, the importance of renewable energy sources such as solar energy cannot be overstated. Solar panels have become increasingly popular in recent years as a way for homeowners to reduce their carbon footprints while also saving money on their electricity bills. Here are just some of the benefits of using solar energy:
Solar Panels save home owners money by generating renewable energy for your home. Solar panel PV systems only generate electricity during the daylight hours.
By storing your own spare electricity from your solar panels using smart battery storage, you can store spare solar energy for use in the evenings and early morning when people use most electricity to heat water and cook, saving you money.
Homeowners with battery storage can also benefit from lower overnight low energy tariffs by charging your battery storage at off-peak times. Then using that low-cost energy when you need it during high peak tariff times, such as first thing in the morning, to power your home saving you money.
Absolute Solar is a family company that values its customers and has worked with domestic customers for over 15 years.
Our goal is to design and install the right solar panel PV and battery storage or energy reduction solution to your needs.
We specialise in domestic energy reduction across a variety of technologies. Absolute Solar install solar panel PV systems for homeowners to meet their energy needs. We design renewable energy solutions for customers from solar panels and integrated battery systems through to home Electric Vehicle (EV) charing points.
Absolute Solar designs solar panel PV technologies which generate renewably generated electricity. You can immediately use or store this in domestic batteries until needed later. In addition, solar panels can also generate electricity to charge your electric car’s battery, reducing your car running costs.
