HOW CAN WE OFFER THIS

By transforming daylight into electric current – This method is not to be confused with existing solar water heating equipment that are not as productive and need storage facilities with connecting water pipes.

WHAT IS THE SCIENCE BEHIND THIS

By utilising a process known as Photovoltaic (or PV for short), which generates electricity by using daylight collected on silicon solar cells firmly fixed to the roof of your property.

When the electricity which is generated 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 national grid at your standard rate (at roughly half the charge of the premium tariff) when there is no daylight and you are in need of electricity.

HOW CAN UTILISING SOLAR ENERGY BENEFIT YOU

  • An Environmentally friendly energy source.
  • Works throughout the year using only daylight.
  • Can help to significantly reduce electricity costs based upon the size of installation and energy consumption.
  • Increase the value of your property
  • Power Companies will buy back your extra electricity at 41.3p per/unit from April 2010
  • Guaranteed for 25 years with a life expectancy of 40 years and no maintenance
  • Ultra quiet running
  • Helps to reduce CO2 Emissions from using Carbon Based Fuels.
  • Limited space required for Installation.
  • No planning permission required. (in many situations…)

      • If every suitable roof in the UK was adapted with solar photovoltaic’s (PV), we could produce more than enough electricity to power the entire nation. Solar PVs have the capacity to provide non polluting, sustainable clean energy.

      SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC GENERIC INFORMATION

      “Photovoltaic” is a conjunction of two words: “photo”, with Greek origins, meaning light, and “voltaic”, from “volt”, which is the measurement used to define electric potential across a point.

      Photovoltaic panels make use of silicon cells to convert solar radiation to electricity . The cell is comprised of one or two layers of a semi-conducting material. When daylight is shone on the cell it generates an electric field across the layers, causing electricity to flow. The better the concentration of the light, the larger the flow of electric current is.

      The most abundant semi conductor material made use of in photovoltaic cells is silicon, an element readily available in sand. With no limit to its availability as a raw material as silicon is the second most plentiful substance on the planet.

      A photovoltaic panel doesn’t require bright sunlight in order to operate. It can also generate electricity on dull days. Due to the reflection of sunlight, slightly cloudy days may even produce higher energy yields than days with a without a cloud in sight.

      The installation procedure can be done with least amount of disturbance, is backed with a 25 year guarantee and most notably – there is government allowances now available (in Scotland).
