How does a solar panel work?

Solar panels consist of photovoltaic cells that capture solar radiation from the sun and convert it into electricity.

These cells are placed between semi-conducting materials, and when sunlight hits them, they become energised, generating an electric current. Initially, the solar cells produce a direct current (DC), which is then converted to an alternating current (AC) using an inverter. This conversion makes the electricity suitable for use in your home.

The benefits of solar panels

Reduced energy bills
By generating your own electricity through solar panels, you can significantly reduce your energy bills. You can even take advantage of cheaper rates on the correct tariffs during night-time, further reducing your costs.

Earn money by selling back to the grid
If you generate more electricity than you consume, you can sell the excess power back to the grid, earning payments for the electricity you generate and don’t.

Protection against energy price rises
With energy prices constantly on the rise, investing in solar panels provides protection against these increases, giving you long-term stability and peace of mind.

Increased property value
Reduced energy bills and eco-friendly features are highly appealing to potential buyers. Installing solar panels can increase the value of your property, making it an excellent investment for the future.
