PV Arrays AndHybrid InvertersOptimisersBattery Storage

Solar Panels

Solar PV systems are made up of several panels, with each panel generating around 355W of energy in strong sunlight. Typical domestic systems contain between 10 and 15 panels and generate direct current (DC) electricity.

Space is a key consideration. The average system size is around 4.2kWp and this will typically take up around 25m² roof area.An unshaded, South facing roof is ideal for maximum electrical output. East or West facing roofs could still be considered, but North facing roofs are not recommended.
A system facing East or West will yield around 15-20% less energy than one facing directly South.

Inverters

A piece of equipment in every solar system that safely converts DC power (direct current) to AC power (alternating current).

A solar inverter converts the DC output from your solar panels into a frequency that can be fed into a power grid. AC power is the standard used by all the commercial appliances in your home. You could say that inverters are the bridge between your solar system and your dishwasher.
Depending on the solar company or the system requirements, a different type of solar inverter might be used. A Hybrid Inverter has a higher upfront cost, but is essential for storing the electricity generated in a battery and provides longer-term savings. They also supply deeper and more accurate monitoring capabilities.

Battery Storage

Domestic battery storage is a rapidly evolving technology that is typically used alongside solar PV. It allows surplus electricity generated by solar panels to be stored for later use rather than exported to the National Grid.
If you have solar PV you can generate plenty of electricity when the sun is shining. But you’ll make none at all at night. This generation pattern often doesn’t match up with when households want to use electricity - it’s at night when you want the lights on and to use appliances.This is where battery storage comes in. If you can store the electricity generated during the day, there is less need to consume electricity at night.

How An On Grid PV System Works

In recent years the number of solar powered homes connected to the local electricity grid has increased dramatically. These Grid Connected PV Systems have solar panels that provide some or even most of their power needs during the day time, while still being connected to the local electrical grid network during the night time.

Solar powered PV systems can sometimes produce more electricity than is actually needed or consumed, especially during the long hot summer months. This extra or surplus electricity is either stored in batteries or as in most grid connected PV systems, fed directly back into the electrical grid network.

FAQ'S

Q:What are the benefits of solar?

Well, there’s the reductions you are going to make on your fuel bills for starters, because generating your own electricity will help reduced those costs considerably.

Reduced electricity bills: a 2.8 kWp system should be able to generate around 35% of an average household's annual electricity needs.
Lower carbon emissions: solar panels don’t produce any carbon emissions, which will help to greatly reduce the impact your home has on the environment.
No running costs: once installed, you won’t have to worry about any operating costs as they create free renewable energy for your home.
Low maintenance: other than making sure the panels are getting enough light (make sure they’re not being obstructed) there’s not a lot else to worry about.
Charge an electric car for free: reduce your fuelling costs if you have an electric vehicle.
