Solar PV uses energy from the sun to create electricity to run appliances and lighting. PV requires only daylight, not direct sunlight to generate electricity and generate power on a cloudy day.

The PV cell consists of two layers of silicon. When light shines on the cell it creates an electric field across the layers causing electricity to flow. The greater the intensity of the light, the greater the flow of electricity. Solar panels are a very common way of generating electricity and can be found all around the world in both urban and rural settings.

The power of a PV cell is measured in kilowatts peak (kWp). That's the rate at which it generates energy at peak performance in full direct sunlight during the summer. Most PV systems are made up of panels that fit on top of an existing roof, but you can also fit solar tiles.

Solar panels are used purely to generate electricity, which is then fed into the home. Some of the common types of panels used are: Panels are then wired directly into the home via an invertor which converts the DC current into an AC current.

Benefits of Solar Panels

  • Generate income through the Feed-in Tariff
  • Cut your electricity bills
  • Sell surplus electricity back to the grid
  • Cut your carbon footprint
  • Long manufacturer warranties
  • No planning permission required
  • Good investment: Buying a solar system makes financial sense with a short payback time and good return on investment.
  • Reliable: Solar panels are easy to install, require little maintenance and come with a 25-yearwarranty.
  • Increase the Net Present Value of your home or business
  • Energy independence: Electricity is produced where it is consumed.
  • Environmentally friendly: People want to preserve the earth’s resources and reduce pollution; buying a solar system contributes to protecting the environment.
  • Fastest growing energy source: It’s more affordable, more efficient, and more reliable than ever.

Free Commercial Solar PV

We help businesses achieve long-term reductions to their ever increasing electricity costs by enabling them to generate their own clean, green electricity from solar energy, without any requirement for capital investment.

How you benefit: Short of purchasing a system outright (whereby you would receive all of the feed in tariff benefits) there are a further two funding options Businesses can choose from one of two funding schemes, 'Free' or 'Combined'.

How it works

You agree to lease the airspace above your roof for 20 years. We install a solar PV system onto your roof, free of charge.* We monitor, maintain and insure the system for 20 years, at no cost to you.

*We receive a payment from the Government under the Feed-in Tariff Scheme that was established to incentivise the deployment of renewable energy technologies.

Funding option :Free
Capital investment :Zero
Solar PV electricity:Typically 50% of your current grid tariff for 20 years; free thereafter
Monitoring,maintenance & insurance Undertaken free of charge for 20 years

Funding option :Combined
Capital investment : Typically 25% of the installation cost
Solar PV electricity: Free for the lifetime of the system
Monitoring, maintenance & insurance Undertaken free of charge for 20 years
Return on investment 25-30%
