Questions when choosing a PV solar panels system

1. Does it work?

YES. Solar PV does not need hot temperatures to work, it works on daylight. There are sufficient daylight hours to make these systems work in the UK. Our systems are highly efficient in our climate.

2. Explain how it works?

A massive amount of energy falls every day from the sun to earth. We can choose to use this energy to power electrical appliances for homes and business. The energy falls onto the panels, which creates DC energy, an inverter converts this to AC energy which we use to power our homes and businesses.

3. What if the system produces more than I need?

If this happens the system will put this energy into the National grid, adding to the renewable energy resource. We will ensure you are with an electricity company that will buy this back from you.

4. Will it produce all the energy I need?

This depends on the size of system you want installed and what your energy usage is, we can assist you in assessing you current requirements and guide you by the available space you have for a sun dynamo system.

5. How much energy does the average home use?

The Energy Saving Trust estimate the average 3 bed home consumes 3 – 4,000 units of electricity per year. However this varies greatly and it is always best to look at your bills for an accurate idea.

6. Do I need planning permission?

If you live within a conservation area, or in a listed building, we will liaise with the relevant planning department.
