HOW CAN WE OFFER THIS

We convert natural daylight into electricity – The process is not the same as existing solar water heating systems that are not as productive , requires water pipes and storage tanks.

WHAT METHOD DO WE USE

Using technology referred to as Photovoltaic (or PV for short), which creates electricity from natural light hitting silicon solar cells located on the roof of your building.

When the electricity which is generated by the silicon solar cells is in excess of your needs, will be transferred back into electricity suppliers at a premium rate (from April 2010) then purchased back from the power supplier at your normal rate (at around half the price of the premium rate) if there is no natural light and you are in need of electricity.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF USING SOLAR ENERGY

  • An Environmentally friendly energy source.
  • Works throughout the year using only daylight.
  • Could reduce your electricity bill to nothing depending on the size of system purchased and the amount of electricity you use.
  • 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.
  • Silent operation
  • Environmentally Friendly.
  • Clean and Tidy Installation which requires minimal extra space.
  • Council planning authorisation not necessary. (in many situations…)

If all suitable roofs in the UK was installed with solar photovoltaic’s (PV), we would surpass the countries complete electricity requirements. Solar photovoltaic’s offer huge potential to deliver environmentally friendly energy to help the climate.

THE GENERAL INFORMATION ON SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC

“Photovoltaic” is a conjunction of two words: “photo”, with Greek origins, meaning light, and “voltaic”, from “volt”, which is the measurement used to define electric potential across a point.

Solar radiation is transformed using Photovoltaic cells. The cell consists of one or two layers of a semi-conducting element. When light shines on the cell it provides an electric field across the layers, causing electricity to flow. The better the strength of the light, the bigger the flow of electricity is.

The most abundant semi conductor material made use of in photovoltaic cells is silicon, a material readily available in sand. There is no limitation to its availability as a raw material as silicon is the second most plentiful element in the Earth’s mass.

A photovoltaic system therefore does not need intense sunlight to function. It will additionally produce electricity on overcast days. Due to the reflection of sunlight, slightly cloudy days may even produce higher energy yields than days with a clear blue sky.

The installation procedure can be done with minimum disturbance, is backed with a 25 year guarantee and most notably – there is government allowances currently available (in Scotland). We can also put together a tremendous financial deal – why not give us a call for a survey right away and start to get “ELECTRICITY FOR FREE”.
