HOW IS THIS ACHIEVED

Through the conversion of natural light to electricity – This method should not be confused with existing solar water heating equipment that are not as efficient and require additional water pipes with storage tanks offset.

HOW CAN WE CREATE THIS

Using technology called Photovoltaic (or PV for short), which generates electricity by using daylight collected on silicon solar cells located on the roof of your building.

If the generated electricity from the silicon solar cells is not being used, will be transferred back into electricity suppliers at a premium rate (from April 2010) then bought back from the national grid at your normal rate (at around half the charge of the premium tariff) when there is no natural light and you are in need of electricity.

WHAT ADAVANTAGES DOES SOLAR ENERGY PROVIDE

  • A clean, green and renewable energy.
  • Works with natural light the whole year round.
  • Could reduce your electricity bill to nothing depending on the size of system you purchase and the amount of electricity you use.
  • Add extra value to your existing property
  • Additional Electricity can be sold back to Energy Providers at 41.3p per/unit from April 2010
  • Guaranteed for 25 years with a life expectancy of 40 years and no maintenance
  • Ultra quiet running
  • Reduce the impact of global warming.
  • Installation is clean, very little space extra required in your house.
  • Council planning authorisation not necessary. (in many situations…)

If all suitable roofs in the United Kingdom was fitted with solar photovoltaic’s (PV), we would surpass the countries complete electricity requirements. Solar photovoltaic’s offer huge potential to deliver renewable energy without generating carbon dioxide or other pollutants.

WHAT IS SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC

“Photovoltaic” is a conjunction of two words: “photo”, from Greek roots, signifying light, and “voltaic”, derived from “volt”, which is the standard term use to define electric potential at any given point..

Solar radiation is transformed using Photovoltaic cells. The cell is made up of one or two layers of a semi-conducting substance. When natural light shines on the cell it provides an electric field across the layers, causing electricity to flow. The better the power of the light, the better the flow of electricity is.

The most abundant semi conductor element used in photovoltaic cells is silicon, a substance readily available in sand. With no restrictions to its availability as a raw material as silicon is the second most plentiful substance on the planet.

A photovoltaic system therefore does not need intense sunlight to work. It can also generate electricity on cloudy days. Due to the reflection of sunlight, slightly cloudy days may even produce larger energy outputs than days with a without a cloud in sight.

The package can be fitted with least amount of disturbance, is backed with a 25 year guarantee and most notably – there is government grants currently available (in Scotland).
