PV Solar Panels

Generate your own electricity with solar photovoltaic

Generate your own free electricity and get paid for using it!

Install Solar panels at your home or business and generate your own free Electricity. Not only is the electricity generated free to use, you will also receive a payment of 44.85p for every unit you generate. Its estimated that the system will pay for itself in 7-9 years and all payments received are tax free and indexed linked to the RPI for 25 years. To receive this payment you MUST ensure your system is installed by a MCS Approved Installer.

Our Current PV Installations

As seen on TV; Suffolk church buildings to be fitted with solar panels

Installing between 10 and 16 photovoltaic panels on clergy houses and other selected church buildings will save money and also greatly benefit the environment. Work is starting immediately and it is anticipated that most of the 180 clergy homes will have panels installed. Where requested church buildings will also be surveyed for suitability considering age, grade listing and will be put forward for listed building permission.

Further Questions and Answers

How does a solar PV system work?

Solar panels generate electricity using energy from the sun. Because the panels produce energy from daylight and not sunlight they still produce energy on cloudy days. The direct current produced by the panels is converted by the inverter to alternating current for use in the building. The electricity produced is either consumed directly by appliances in the building or if more power than required is generated it is exported to the grid. At night or when the system is not producing enough energy, power is supplied by the grid in the normal way.

Do the PV panels need direct sunlight to work?

Solar PV works from daylight and not direct sunlight, but more power is produced on a sunny day as a opposed to an overcast or cloudy one.

What are the effects of shade?

Shading is critical. Minor shading can result in significant loss of energy because the cell with the lowest illumination determines the operating current of the of the series string in which it is connected.

What happens if there is a power cut?

Our PV systems are entirely connected. If there is a power cut the system is automatically switched off as a safety measure to ensure power does not leak on to the grid in order to protect personnel working to restore the power supply. There will be no power to the building during the power cut.

What happens at night?

PV panels do not produce energy in the dark and so electricity is drawn from the grid in the normal way.

How long does it take to get your money back?

Between 7 & 9 years.

Aftercare:

Do panels need cleaning?

Usually dust and dirt washes off when it rains, if the panels are installed at an angle of at least 15 degrees. In extreme cases, dirt may cause a power reduction of about 10%.

PV Solar installed from £5,550 including VAT

You may be wondering how Solar PV electricity can benefit you and make you money. Its quite simple...

Potential Benefits 4.00kWp PV System

Based on typical solar electricity of 4.00kWp. This will generate an estimated 3433.60 kWh of electricity per year.
Of this 50% would be used and 50% exported.

Generate £433.60 kWh per year. Government feed in tarriff pays 43.3p per kWh

Sell 176.8 kWh of the generated 3433.60 kWh per year back at 3.1p

Use 50% of the generated 3433.60 kWh per year. Don't need to buy electricity for 1716.8 at 14p
