HOW CAN WE PROVIDE YOU WITH THIS

By transforming daylight into electric current – This method should not be confused with existing solar water heating technologies that are less efficient , requires water pipes and storage tanks.

HOW DOES IT WORK

Using technology referred to as Photovoltaic (or PV for short), which generates electricity from natural light hitting silicon solar cells firmly fixed to the roof of your property.

When the electricity created by the silicon solar cells is in excess of your needs, it is sold back into the national grid at a premium rate (from April 2010) then purchased back from the power company at your standard rate (at around half the cost of the premium rate) if there is no natural light and you have a demand for electricity.

THE BENEFITS OF SOLAR ENERGY

  • An Environmentally friendly energy source.
  • Works with natural light the whole year round.
  • Could save you a lot of money on your electricity bills dependant on your electricity usage and size of your system.
  • Add extra value to your existing property
  • Surplus electricity sold back to national grid at 41.3p per/unit from April 2010
  • Guaranteed for 25 years with a life expectancy of 40 years and no maintenance
  • Silent operation
  • Reduce the impact of global warming.
  • Installation is clean, very little space extra required in your house.
  • Council planning authorisation not necessary. (in many cases…)

If every suitable roof in the UK was adapted with solar photovoltaic’s (PV), we could exceed the nation’s current electricity demand. Solar PVs have the capacity to provide non polluting, sustainable clean energy.

BASIC GUIDE TO SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC

“Photovoltaic” is a marriage of two words: “photo”, from Greek roots, signifying light, and “voltaic”, derived from “volt”, which is the standard term use to define electric potential at any given point..

Photovoltaic systems use cells to convert solar radiation into electricity. The cell consists of one or two layers of a semi-conducting element. When light shines on the cell it generates an electric field across the layers, allowing electricity to flow. The greater the intensity of the light, the greater the flow of electricity is.

The most abundant semi conductor substance utilised in photovoltaic cells is silicon, a substance abundantly available in sand. With no limit to its availability as a raw material as silicon is the second most abundant element in the Earth’s mass.

A photovoltaic panel therefore does not need bright sunlight in order to operate. It could also create electricity on overcast days. Due to the reflection of sunlight, slightly cloudy days may even produce superior energy outputs than days with a without a cloud in sight.

The package can be fitted with minimal disturbance, is backed with a 25 year guarantee and most notably – there is government funding presently available (in Scotland).
