SOLAR PV & BATTERY STORAGE
Solar cells, also called photovoltaic cells, convert sunlight directly into electricity.
WHAT IS SOLAR PV
Photovoltaics (often shortened as PV) gets its name from the process of converting light (photons) to electricity (voltage), which is called the photovoltaic effect.
This phenomenon was first exploited in 1954 by scientists at Bell Laboratories who created a working solar cell made from silicon that generated an electric current when exposed to sunlight.
Solar cells were soon being used to power space satellites and smaller items such as calculators and watches. Today, electricity from solar cells has become cost competitive in many regions and photovoltaic systems are being deployed at large scales to help power the electric grid.
THE BENEFITS OF SOLAR PANELS
Reduced Costs – on average, solar PV installations pay for themselves within five years and go on producing free electricity for many years to come.
Reduced Emissions – one of the best ways to significantly reduce your carbon footprint. Even a small solar PV scheme saves tonnes of CO2 every year!
Low Maintenance – with no moving parts and very little ongoing maintenance required, solar panels are incredibly reliable and cost efficient to run.
Future Proof – with energy prices only set to rise, a solar PV installation protects you from increased utility bills by providing your own free electricity.
Suitable for both new builds and modernisation projects
Smart investments – solar PV installations offer a reliable and predictable investment with better returns that many low-risk options.

WHAT IS A BATTERY STORAGE SYSTEM?
An accumulation system is a device that allows you to store excess energy produced by a photovoltaic system to exploit it when needed rather than transfer it to the grid, maximising self-consumption. It is thus possible to save on electricity bills, making the home more self-sufficient and at the same time significantly reducing harmful emissions by using renewable sources.
