Solar panels work by using specially designed panels that convert daylight into electricity. Photovoltaic Solar Panels only require daylight, not direct sunlight like some types of older Solar Panels, allowing them to continue generating electricity even on a cloudy day. The electricity resulting from this process is used by any electrical appliance in your home or business.
Solar panels are initially quite expensive to install. However, there are no operating costs once installation is complete the panels continue to work without any significant maintenance for around 25 years. Solar panels normally recoup their installation costs at around 10 years, although this is getting sooner and sooner as energy prices are set to rise by around 50% OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS
Over the UK winter months, solar panels are unlikely to meet your higher energy requirement, and so you will have to rely in-part on your main grid energy system. But over the summer months, solar panels can provide cheap hot water and electricity, significantly Reducing your energy bills for over half the year. Installing solar panels only requires around three to four square metres of roof space, so they’re suitable for nearly every home.
