HOW CAN WE PROVIDE YOU WITH THIS

By converting daylight into electricity – This method is different to existing solar water heating systems that are less beneficial and need storage facilities with connecting water pipes.

HOW CAN WE CREATE THIS

We use a system known as Photovoltaic (or PV for short), which provides electricity by using daylight collected on silicon solar cells which are normally located on your roof.

When the electricity which is generated by the silicon solar cells is not being used, will be transferred back into electricity suppliers at a premium rate (from April 2010) then bought back from the power company at your normal rate (at around half the cost of the premium rate) should there be no daylight and you are in need of electricity.

HOW CAN UTILISING SOLAR ENERGY BENEFIT YOU

  • A clean, green and renewable energy.
  • Only required daylight, so will work all year long.
  • Can help to significantly reduce electricity costs based upon the size of installation and energy consumption.
  • Enhance the value of your property
  • Power Companies will buy back your extra electricity at 41.3p per/unit from April 2010
  • No maintenance required, with an expected life of 30 years plus.
  • Ultra quiet running
  • Environmentally Friendly.
  • Clean and Tidy Installation which requires minimal extra space.
  • Council planning authorisation not necessary. (in many cases…)

If all suitable roofs in the United Kingdom was fitted with solar photovoltaic’s (PV), we could exceed the nation’s current electricity demand. Solar photovoltaic’s offer huge potential to deliver non polluting, sustainable clean energy.

SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC GENERIC INFORMATION

“Photovoltaic” is a marriage of two words: “photo”, with Greek origins, meaning light, and “voltaic”, derived from “volt”, which is the standard term use to define electric potential at any given point..

Photovoltaic panels make use of silicon cells to convert solar radiation to electricity . The cell is comprised of one or two layers of a semi-conducting substance. When light shines on the cell it generates an electric field across the layers, allowing electricity to flow. The larger the strength of the light, the larger the flow of electric current is.

The most common semi conductor material made use of in photovoltaic cells is silicon, a material most commonly found in sand. With no restrictions to its availability as a raw material as silicon is the second most abundant substance in the Earth’s mass.

A photovoltaic cell will not need intense sunlight to function. It could also create electricity on dull days. Due to the reflection of sunlight, slightly cloudy days can even result in higher energy levels than days with a clear blue sky.

The system is easy to install with minimal disturbance, is backed with a 25 year guarantee and most notably – there is government allowances now available (in Scotland). We can also put together a tremendous financial deal – why not give us a call for a survey now and get your “ELECTRICITY FOR FREE”.
