H2ecO - Solar Photovoltaic Systems (P.V.)
From Solar Power
Solar Photovoltaic systems work by harnessing the sun’s energy through PV panels on your roof and converting it into useable electricity. These systems will produce power all year round whatever the weather. The electricity produced by your system will also earn you an attractive income through the government’s Feed In Tariff scheme. Our systems offer a great way to lower your carbon footprint whilst protecting you from continually rising energy costs.
How Does Solar Power Work?
In simple terms, the energy from the sun is collected by the panels we mount on the roof or ground and is converted into DC electricity (the type that comes out of a battery).
The DC electricity is not useable as mains electricity and needs to be converted. That is the job of the inverter.
The Inverter is the heart of the system and converts the DC electricity to mains electricity that can be fed into your property for you to use and/or be exported back to the grid. The inverter works totally automatically and does not require any attention in normal operation.
The power from the inverter feeds in to your fuse board and is used directly by your household appliances. If more is needed than your system generates, additional power is drawn from the grid automatically. At certain times, the system may generate more than you are using, at which time the power will flow into the national grid so someone else can use it. Your home has become a mini-power station.
You get paid a FIT payment for every unit of energy you generate plus a payment for energy you export to the grid. In addition, you get to use the energy for free. It really is too good to be true.
A PV system is pretty much fit-and-forget, except that you will probably want to keep an eye on the generation statistics - most new system owners are obsessive data watchers on the included wireless generation display.
H2ecO also offer a web linked monitoring system as an option. Although not necessary, some owners may feel happier with knowing that H2ecO are routinely monitoring their system remotely for optimal performance.
Solar Power has been in use for decades and has developed very rapidly in Germany over the last years. Although relatively unknown in the UK until recently it is well proven. With the introduction of the Governments new FIT payments, Photovoltaic mains power systems have become one of the fastest growing renewable energy generation systems in the UK today due to their reliability and financial return rates.
