HOW DO SOLAR PANELS WORK?
Photovoltaic
(PV) cells
The panel consists of photovoltaic (PV) cells made of silicon, which convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity.
Generation
of electricity
When the sun shines on the cells, photons knock electrons into a higher state of energy, creating a flow of electricity.
Generation of
direct current:
The movement of electrons creates a direct current (DC) which is collected by metal contacts on the top and bottom of the cell.
DC to AC
conversion
The DC electricity is then sent to an inverter, which converts it into alternating current (AC) electricity, the type of electricity used in your home.
Surplus
electricity
Any surplus electricity generated can be fed back into the grid, providing a source of income for you or the electricity can be stored in batteries.

HOME SOLAR PANELS FAQS
If you cannot find an answer to your question, then contact us today for a free consultation.
In most cases, you do not need planning permission to install solar panels on a residential property. However, if you live in a listed building, a conservation area, or an area with specific planning restrictions, you may need to apply for planning permission. It’s always best to check with your local planning authority before installing solar panels for your home.
The best location for solar panels is an area that receives direct sunlight for the majority of the day, with little to no shading from trees or buildings. A south-facing roof is typically considered the best, as it gets the most sunlight from the northern hemisphere. However, a west- or east-facing roof can also be suitable, depending on the specific location and orientation of your home.
Other factors to consider include the pitch or angle of the roof, the type of panels being used, and any local weather conditions that may affect the panels’ performance. It is always advisable to consult a professional solar installer for a site assessment and suitable recommendations.
You do not need battery storage for solar panels, but it can be a good option to consider. Solar panels generate electricity during the day, but if you are not using all of the energy produced, it will be sent back to the grid. With battery storage, you can store excess energy for use during the night or when the panels are not producing enough electricity, reducing your dependence on grid power and potentially saving you money on your home energy bills.
Battery storage may not be necessary for everyone. Factors such as your energy consumption patterns, the size of your solar panel system, and the cost of energy in your area will all impact the decision of whether battery storage is a good long-term investment.
It is advisable to consult a professional solar installer to assess your specific needs and determine if battery storage is a viable option for your home.
At present, the UK government has set a 0% VAT rate for solar panel installations which runs until 2027, so now is a great time to consider an investment into solar power technology.
