SOLAR PV PANELS (PHOTO VOLTAIC SYSTEMS)
Why
is such a System a Good Idea?
- The
electricity that is generated by your
system you receive a Feed
In Tariff
(FIT) income, whether you use the power or
export
it. See more on FIT at the Energy Saving Trust Website.
- Electricity generated from PV solar
panels is
automatically used to power your appliances around the home so
avoiding the cost of purchasing electricity from your supplier. All
surplus can be
exported to the National Grid. A PV system may benefit you all year
round.
- You will experience a reduction in your
electricity bills and PV
panels will
also reduce the impact of rising electricity costs over the coming
years.
- Solar systems have
no
moving parts and are therefore silent in operation. They require very
little maintenance.
- When your solar system is supplied and fitted
by our registered and accredited solar installers, you
are investing in a highly reliable, quality product, that has a typical
lifetime of 25 - 30 years.
- By generating your own electricity from solar energy you will reduce your dependence on the commercial electricity providers.
Electricity generated for Solar energy in UK varies between approx 1,500 KWh in the South West of UK to 850KWh in Scotland. These figures relate to the power that could be generated per metre squared (m²) per year by a PV system. Most buildings in UK are suitable for solar electric power systems requiring 10 m² to 15 m². An indicative map is shown here.
UK households consume approx 8KWh to 10KWh per day on average. 1 KW (kilo watt = 1000 watts) consumed can be considered to be a single bar electric fire used for heating for 1 hour. 1KW per hour (or Unit) is what we are charged for by the Energy Suppliers (e,g B Gas, EDF SSE etc)
Solar energy varies at different periods during a year. South facing roof aspect is important but not wholly essential.
Electricity requirements will vary depending on the size of each house and how energy-efficient the building and appliances are. A Solar PV system will be able to reduce electricity bills because the system will supply some or all of your power needs rather than the supplier of electricity. Where Solar PV systems connect to the National Grid system, they will automatically take electricity from the National Grid at times of low solar power generation - at night primarily. The PV systems automatically switches between solar or supplier energy dependant on consumption and solar conditions during a 24 hour period.
See Planning Permission below.
CD Solar Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) certificated
The MCS Scheme gives consumers the guarantee that certificated
microgeneration
products and the installers of those products have conformed to a
rigorous set of standards.
To qualify for financial incentives such as Clean
Energy Cash backs, both the microgeneration
product and the installer must carry the MCS mark

Permitted development rights
In England and Scotland, changes to permitted development rights for
renewable technologies introduced on 6th April 2008 and 12th March 2009
respectively, have lifted the requirements for planning permission for
most domestic microgeneration technologies.
The General Permitted Development Order (GPDO), or the Town and Country
Planning (General Permitted Development) (Domestic Microgeneration)
(Scotland) Amendment Order 2009 grants rights to carry out certain
limited forms of development on the home, without the need to apply for
planning permission. The scope of the GPDO in England and the TCP (GPD)
in Scotland now extends to the following technologies:
