Solar Photovoltaic Benefits

Feed in Tariff Under this scheme householders who generate their own electricity from renewable or low carbon sources receive regular payments from their energy supplier TAX FREE. Cut your bills Sunlight does not cost a penny, once the initial installation is paid for your electricity costs will be reduced significantly. Solar power can cover around 40% of the average home's year electricity needs. Cut your carbon footprint Solar electricity is a renewable green energy system; this means it doesn't release harmful carbon dioxide or other pollutants. Sell your electricity back to the grid If you can't use all the power the system is producing or at the time when you don't need it you make money by selling the extra electricity back to the national grid.

How does home solar power work?

Power for your home is made through something called the photovoltaic (PV) effect, this is where light (photons) is converted into electricity (voltage). This is the same process that happens inside a solar powered calculator but scaled up to generate larger amount of electricity. Also against populate belief modern panels will work in the UK climate and don't need direct sunlight to produce electricity.

This process takes place within PV cells which are panels that can be attached to the roof or walls of your home. These cells are made from one of two layers of semiconducting material, the most common being silicon. When the light shines on these cells it creates an electric field across the layers which can be used to power appliances.

The solar power panels first go through a power inverter that converts the DC electricity produced into the Alternating Current (AC) electricity. This converts the electricity into the same standard that is provided by the national grid to your home. This AC electricity is connected to you home via the solar power collector, this links the panels to the fuse box and electric meter. The meter monitors how much energy has been produced and how much energy is sold back to the national grid.
