Benefits Of Solar PV Panel Installation (SPV)
There are many amazing reasons why you should power your home with residential solar panels including:
Low Cost Energy Bills: By making the jump to solar energy, you will reduce the amount of energy your home uses from the power grid, which translates to significant savings on your electricity bills.
Reduced Carbon Footprint: By using the sun’s rays to power your home you greatly reduce the amount of co2 emissions released in to the atmosphere. It feels great knowing you’re helping in the fight against climate change.
Energy independence: Generating your own electricity means you don’t have to rely as heavily on the power grid. This also protects you from rising energy costs.
Power Cut Proof: Depending on the type of system you choose to install, systems with batteries are effectively immune from power cuts, giving you peace of mind that the lights will always stay on.
Earn Money From Surplus Electricity: One of the most attractive benefits of solar PV systems is the ability to sell any additional power you generate back to the grid for a tidy profit thanks to the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG). Speak to our friendly team today, who can explain how this works in greater detail.

How Does Solar PV (SPV) Work?
Sunlight Absorption: Energy is absorbed from sunlight even on cloudy days.
DC Current: The cells in the solar panels convert sunlight in DC electricity (Direct current).
Conversion To AC Current: The inverter within your SPV system turns the DC electricity (directcurrent) into AC electricity (alternating current), the type of electricity that powers your home.
Consumer Unit: The AC electricity (alternating current) is fed through your meter and into your home’s consumer unit.
Powering Your Home: It’s time to switch on and marvel at the efficiency of your SPV panels. The system will automatically use the free energy you have generated first and switch back to power from the grid if needed.
The Power Grid: Any surplus electricity you generate is fed back to the power grid for others to use, and your account is credited giving you an additional stream of income.

Frequently Asked Questions Residential Solar Panels (SPV FAQ’s)
Q: What are residential solar panels, and how do they work? A: Residential solar panels, or photovoltaic (PV) panels, are installed on rooftops to capture sunlight and convert it into electricity. When sunlight hits the panels, the semiconductor material within the cells generates a flow of electric current.
Q: What are the benefits of installing solar panels on my home? A: Installing solar panels provides numerous benefits, including reduced electricity bills, lower carbon footprint, increased property value, and potential eligibility for government incentives or schemes.
Q: How much do residential solar panels cost? A: The cost varies based on factors like system size, quality of panels, and installation complexity. While upfront costs may seem significant, many homeowners experience a positive return on investment through energy savings over time.
Q: How long do solar panels last, and do they require maintenance? A: Solar panels typically have a lifespan of 25-30 years or more. They require minimal maintenance, with occasional cleaning and regular inspections to ensure optimal performance.
Q: Will solar panels work on cloudy or rainy days? A: Yes, solar panels can still generate electricity on cloudy or rainy days, although their efficiency is reduced. They continue to produce power as they can capture diffused sunlight.
Q: What happens if my solar panels generate more electricity than I use? A: Excess electricity can be fed back into the grid, depending on your location and utility policies. This often results in credits or compensation through programs like net metering.
