Solar Photovoltaic
Even on cloudy days, Solar Photovoltaic (PV) panels can convert radiation from the sun to electricity.
Solar PV can be scaled to suit any size of energy requirement.
Solar PV systems not only generate electricity, saving you money, but also qualify for feed in tariffs.
Retrofitting solar PV systems to existing properties should not be complicated. They are best positioned on south facing roofs, but can also be placed on the ground.
We will ensure that a system will only be installed in a suitable location, that it is the best system for you and that it is sited appropriately. Our installers are all MCS accredited and will install only to the highest standards.
- PV was developed for use in space and has no moving parts.
- The oldest solar modules have been generating for more than 35 years.
- Displacing grid electricity saves nearly three times more CO2 than displacing gas.
- PV is ideal in an urban environment but is scalable and is often used in fields to ‘farm’ electricity.
- Locating a PV system is critical - south facing roofs are best. Any shadowing can seriously impair performance.
Feed in Tariffs for Solar PV (as proposed in Oct 2011 announcement, effective Dec 2011) :
- Below 4kW 21p / kWh
- 4 - 10kW 16.8p / kWh
- 10 - 50kW 15.2p / kWh
- 50 - 150kW 12.9p / kWh
- 150 - 250kW 12.9p / kWh
- 250 - 5mW 8.5p / kWh
