How Do Solar PV Systems Work?

Solar PV panels are made up of many individual solar cells containing photovoltaic material. When this material is exposed to sunlight, it creates an electrical current through the photovoltaic effect. The panels absorb the sun’s energy and convert it into Direct Current (DC) electricity.

An inverter unit is connected to the solar panels to convert this DC power into usable Alternating Current (AC) electricity for your property. The inverter-converted AC electricity is then fed into your home’s electrical circuits to be used for powering lights, appliances, heating systems, and more.

Any excess solar electricity your panels produce is exported to the national grid. You may be eligible for payments from your utility company through schemes like the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) for this surplus energy.

The Benefits of Solar PV Systems

  • Renewable Energy Source

    Solar panels generate completely renewable electricity simply from the sun's rays, a free and abundant energy source. This makes solar PV a clean, green alternative to fossil fuel energy.

  • Low Maintenance

    Solar panels have no moving parts and require very little maintenance beyond occasional cleaning to keep producing at peak levels for 25+ years.

  • Increase Property Value

    Installing solar PV panels is viewed as a major home upgrade that makes properties more valuable and desirable. Buyers are willing to pay more for homes with existing solar arrays.

  • Save on Energy Bills

    A solar panel system allows you to produce your own electricity rather than relying solely on energy purchased from suppliers. This significantly reduces your monthly energy costs.

Apply for a grant today

The UK government offers several incentives and grants to support the adoption of renewable energy systems like solar panels and air source heat pumps. Homeowners may be eligible for schemes like the Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) which provides quarterly cash payments over seven years to offset installation costs.
