IN simple terms this is how your new PV system works.
The PV cells draw energy from the sun (or daylight) which is captured and converted into DC current. It is then passed through a DC Isolator, into an inverter that changes the electric current to AC. This allows the supply to be fed directly into your home’s main supply to be used instead of drawing from the expensive National Grid.Any power you generate that you do not use is passed automatically back to the National Grid with the agreed payments paid back to you!

Pros and Cons of Solar PV systems
Photovoltaic research and development has been upped in recent years as the technology is considered a leading renewable consumer energy source.
In fact, reports claim photovoltaic production has doubled every two years since 2002 making it the world’s fastest-growing solar power and energy technology.
Pros
- You can benefit from the Governments feed-in tariff which pays a set rate per kWh of electricity generated and an additional rate for any exported back to the national grid.
- The feed-in tariff is guaranteed by the Government for 20 years.
- Panels designed for European countries generate power even on cloudy days, they simply need light to produce electricity.
- Clean energy means you reduce your carbon emissions by up to 1 tonne per annum.
- Producing your own power protects against rising energy prices.
Cons
- A large area of unshaded south, south-west or south-east facing roof is required to maximise payback. Smaller systems can be installed but payback will be longer.
- Panels degrade over time by approximately 20% over 25 years, this however is taken into account in most reputable suppliers calculations.
- It may be beneficial to replace the inverter after 10 years to optimise power generation, although this is not essential.
