What Are Solar Panels and How Do They Work?

Solar PV panels, also known as photovoltaic panels, convert light into electricity that can be used to power your home. Unlike solar water heating systems, solar PV generates electricity rather than hot water.

Solar panels do not require constant direct sunlight to operate. Even on cloudy days, daylight allows a solar PV system to generate energy. The stronger the light levels, the more electricity is produced, but modern systems continue to perform efficiently throughout the year, including during winter months.

By installing solar panels, you can generate your own electricity, reduce energy bills and lower your household carbon footprint.

How Solar PV Works

Light Absorption

Solar panels are made from semi conductive materials, typically silicon. When daylight hits the panel cells, it creates an electrical charge.

Electricity Generation

The electrical charge is converted into usable electricity through an inverter, allowing it to power appliances in your home.

Home Energy Use

Any electricity you do not use immediately can be exported to the grid or stored in a battery system for later use.

Pair Solar Panels with Battery Storage

Adding battery storage allows you to store excess electricity generated during the day and use it later in the evening or during peak times. This increases self consumption, improves energy independence and reduces reliance on the grid.

Battery systems can be installed alongside new solar panels or added to existing systems.

Add Solar Panels to Rental Properties

We work with landlords to install solar panel systems that improve property efficiency, reduce tenant energy costs and increase long term value.
