Solar PV Installations
At Solar Energy Cambridge, our focus is to provide the latest and most efficient solar PV (Photovoltaic) system, which not only saves money on energy bills but also helps reduce your carbon footprint while giving you greater control over your energy usage.
How do solar panels work?
Solar panels work by converting sunlight into electricity. The panels are made up of photovoltaic cells, which contain semiconductor materials such as silicon. When sunlight hits these cells, it causes a flow of electrons, creating a direct current (DC) of electricity.
This DC electricity is then sent to an inverter, which converts it into alternating current (AC) electricity, which is the type of electricity that is used in homes. The AC electricity is then sent to the electrical panel, where it is used to power appliances and devices around your home.
Any excess electricity generated and not used is either stored in a solar storage battery or sent back to the grid via the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) tariff. This allows homeowners to benefit financially by selling the excess energy exported to the grid.
The benefits of installing solar PV panels & battery storage to your home
There are numerous environmental and financial benefits to installing solar panels with optional battery storage.
The key benefits include:
● Solar panels can reduce your electricity bills, depending on the size of the system and your energy usage.
● Installing a solar panel system can potentially increase the value of your property.
● Solar panels generate clean, renewable energy, which reduces your carbon footprint and helps combat climate change.
● Once installed, solar PV panels require minimal maintenance.
● By producing your own electricity, you are not dependent on the grid and are less affected by power outages or price increases.
● Surplus energy, that is not used is stored in the optional battery system for later use when needed.
● Dedicated SEG energy export tariffs are now available from energy providers for homes with solar PV panels installed.
Overall, solar panel systems with a storage battery are a relatively simple and low-maintenance technology that can generate significant amounts of clean, renewable green energy for your home.
