Solar PV

Solar PV (Solar Photovoltaics) is the generation of electricity using energy from the sun. Modern solar panels produce electricity from daylight and do not require direct sunlight, although more electricity is produced on bright, sunny days. By installing Solar PV panels you can produce free, green energy for your home or business. How does solar PV work?

1. Sun’s energy converted into DC voltage by PV panels on roof

2. Inverter converts DC voltage into ‘useable’ AC voltage

3. Generation meter records production

4. Electricity generated used in household appliances during the day

5. Unused electricity fed back into National Grid
