How to Install Solar Photovoltaic Panels

Solar panels, also known as photovoltaics (PV), consist of interconnected semi-conducting cells that capture the sun’s energy and convert it, through an inverter, into usable electricity. By installing solar panels, we can generate our own renewable electricity, reducing our bills, while also lowering our carbon footprints.

Solar panels will provide around 50% of energy over a year resulting in most installations paying for themselves in 10 years. Paying for installation outright is the most economical option; however, several suppliers offer financing for installations. Either way, we can be net beneficiaries of this technology financially and environmentally.

To go even further, we can enhance the benefits by integrating this technology with an air source heat pump or a battery, allowing for increased use of the electricity produced.

To install, obtain three quotes from local installers who are MSC registered.
