Why Choose Solar Panels?

Investing in solar panels is a brilliant way to generate your own energy and take control of your electricity usage. With longer daylight hours than the rest of the UK, Cornwall and Devon are ideal locations for making the most of solar power.

Whether you’re powering your home, a farm or a business, solar panels offer a reliable, cost-effective solution that lasts for decades.

Here’s how they can enhance your life:

Reduce Energy Bills

By generating your own electricity, solar panels significantly lower your dependence on traditional energy sources. This means lower monthly energy bills and, in many cases, the potential to eliminate them altogether.

Promote Sustainable Living

Embracing solar energy helps reduce your carbon footprint by cutting down on greenhouse gas emissions and reliance on fossil fuels. By switching to solar power, you’re contributing to a more sustainable future for our planet.

Increase Property Value

Homes with solar panel systems are often more attractive to buyers, and can command higher sale prices. Solar panels are a desirable feature that adds to your home’s marketability, making it a smart investment for future resale.

Achieve Energy Independence

Solar panels give you more control over your energy needs. By generating your own electricity, you become less dependent on external energy suppliers and are shielded from rising energy prices.

How Do Solar Panels Work?

Understanding the technology behind solar panels can help you appreciate their value even more. Here’s a simple breakdown of how they function:

Panel Construction: Solar pv panels consist of photovoltaic (PV) cells made from semiconductor materials like silicon. These cells are designed to absorb sunlight and convert it into electrical energy.

The Photovoltaic Effect: When sunlight strikes the PV cells, it excites electrons within the semiconductor material. This excitation generates an electric charge through the photovoltaic effect.

Electricity Conversion: The electric charge produced by the PV cells is direct current (DC) electricity. An inverter then converts this DC electricity into alternating current (AC), which is used by most household appliances and the electrical grid.

Utilisation of Energy: The converted AC electricity powers your home’s electrical systems. Any excess energy generated can be stored in batteries or fed back into the grid, often earning you credits or compensation.

System Monitoring: Modern solar panels come with advanced monitoring systems that allow you to track their performance. This ensures that your solar power system is running efficiently and provides real-time data on energy production.

Q: Does solar power work on cloudy days?

Yes, when there’s daylight, your panels will be generating power for your property. Cornwall benefits from some of the highest sunshine levels in the UK, and we get over 1,500 hours of daylight each year - that’s plenty to keep your solar panels working hard.

Q: Will solar panels stay on my roof in high winds?

While the South West is known for its wild winds, rest assured that your solar system is installed to last. Our experts ensure that your panels are fixed securely to your roof, ready to withstand even the wildest of storms.

Q: Do solar panels affect property value?

Great news - installing solar not only reduces your carbon footprint, but it can also boost your property’s value. With many buyers now looking for properties with renewable energy generation included, solar panels are a great investment.

Q: How much do solar panels cost?

The cost of installing solar panels depends on the size of the system, the quality of the panels, and the specifics of your property. Generally, the cost for a typical residential solar panel system ranges from £5,000 to £8,000.

Solar panels offer considerable long-term savings by reducing your electricity bills and increasing your home’s energy independence. You may also be eligible for the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG), which allows you to earn money by exporting surplus energy back to the grid.
