About Solar PV
Solar PV Explained
So, you may have got the impression from other pages on the website that we’re somewhat in favour of the many benefits of Solar Electric Systems, or Photovoltaic (PV) Systems, but how exactly do they work? Well, in a nutshell, they use energy from the sun and convert it to electricity.
One question we’re often asked is “how can Solar PV Systems create enough electricity in UK homes considering our somewhat ‘dull’ climate”? Well, Solar PV Systems are able to absorb solar energy even when it’s cloudy. Additionally with the right design, an off grid system can store this energy for use at night and other times when the sun isn’t out.
Of course, it goes without saying that the stronger the sunshine, the more electricity that can be produced, but that’s not to say that households in the UK won’t be produce enough to power their homes all year long.
So, what are the advantages of having a Solar PV System installed by Azure Eco?
- First and foremost, you’re helping the environment and this is something that cannot be underestimated.
- Of course, the main attraction for most people wanting a solar PV installed at their homes is the potential savings that can be made in massively reduced electricity bills.
- Not only will you be able save large amounts of money following your solar PV installation, you will potentially be able to earn money from your surplus electricity that you can sell back into the system via a feed in tariff.
- Solar PV systems are particularly low maintenance and with feed in tariffs guaranteed for 25 years, you’re likely to have paid for your solar PV system in less than 10 years simply by using a feed in tariff.
