Introduction To Solar PV
Solar PV (Photovoltaic) technology is an excellent solution for generating clean, renewable energy right from your home. Contrary to common misconceptions, the UK and Ireland are highly suitable for solar PV systems. These systems don’t rely on direct sunlight but rather on daylight, specifically UV light, which means they can generate a significant amount of electricity even on cloudy days. With rising electricity costs and an increasing emphasis on sustainability, investing in solar PV is a smart way to future-proof your home and reduce your carbon footprint.
Why Choose Solar PV?
Solar PV systems offer numerous benefits beyond just saving on electricity bills. A 4kW system, for example, has the potential to generate approximately £600 worth of electricity annually, making it a financially sound investment.
With energy prices continuing to rise, solar PV not only lowers your immediate costs but also shields you from future increases. Additionally, solar energy is green energy so powering your home with it significantly reduces your carbon footprint.
Modern solar systems are also more affordable than ever, with flexible financing options available and minimal maintenance required due to the lack of moving parts.
For those concerned about not being home during daylight hours, there are ways to optimise your system’s efficiency. We can help you adjust your energy usage habits and offer additional solutions like the installation of an Eddi, which diverts excess energy to heat your water, or a battery storage system to store unused energy for later use. This way, even when you’re out, your solar PV system continues to work for you, ensuring you get the maximum benefit from your investment.
