Solar Photovoltaics have become extremely important in recent years, given the growing demand for clean electricity and the continuous price hikes in the domestic energy market. In an effort to curb the escalating energy crisis, the UK government aims to expand solar deployment by five times by 2035.
*Note – The installation process usually takes just one day but can vary depending on the property size and rooftop accessibility. The Renewables People Team ensures the installation process is carried out in the most efficient and professional manner. However, the property may be without electricity during the installation process.
A solar PV system harnesses sunlight to generate electricity. It consists of solar panels that convert sunlight into usable electric energy, reducing reliance on traditional power sources.
PV is a part of solar energy technology, specifically referring to the use of photovoltaic cells. Solar PV is an excellent choice as it directly converts sunlight into electricity efficiently.
Solar PV works by sunlight striking the PV cells, creating an electric field that allows the flow of electrons, generating direct current (DC). An inverter then converts DC into alternating current (AC) for use in homes or businesses.
Solar power can be stored for extended periods, depending on the storage system used. Battery storage allows solar energy to be stored for use during nighttime or cloudy days. With proper maintenance, batteries can store solar power for several years, making it a reliable source of stored energy.
Yes, solar PV and solar panels are often used interchangeably. Solar panels are the visible component of a solar PV system, consisting of interconnected PV cells that capture sunlight and convert it into electricity.
