Want to save money on energy bills whilst significantly reducing the amount of carbon dioxide emissions on which you depend on at the same time? Why not consider installing a solar system to your property?
How Solar Panels Work?
Solar panel electricity systems, also known as photovoltaics (PV), capture the sun’s energy using photovoltaic cells. These cells don’t need direct sunlight to work – they can still generate some electricity on a cloudy day. The cells convert the sunlight into electricity, which can be used to run household appliances and lighting.
The benefits of solar electricity:
- Cut your electricity bills.
Sunlight is free, so once you’ve paid for the initial installation; your electricity costs will be reduced.
- Be less reliant on fluctuating electricity prices.
Generating your own electricity makes you less vulnerable to price hikes.
- Cut your carbon footprint.
Solar electricity is green renewable energy and doesn’t release any harmful carbon dioxide or other pollutants. A typical home solar PV system could save around 1.2 to 1.7 tonnes of carbon per year. It works out at .54 CO2 tonnes / 1kW of energy
There have been literally hundreds of thousands of PV installs in the UK since it was first introduced in 2010
