How Solar Works 

Photovoltaic Panels

Solar PV (photovoltaic) panels convert light directly to electricity. When solar panels absorb sunlight, particles (photons) knock electrons free from atoms inside the solar cells, generating a Direct Current (DC). An inverter converts the Direct Current (DC) to an Alternating Current (AC) – which gives your mains electricity.

The electricity is used in your house initially, and if not needed, is automatically stored in Batteries (if you have them) or exported to the national grid. You will also continue to buy electricity from your supplier, if you use more than your panels are generating.

Solar PV & Battery Storage 

Installing battery storage alongside your Solar PV system allows you to store any excess energy that your panels have produced but that you are currently not using. The collected energy that the battery has stored can be used for later use instead of buying it from the grid. Here are some benefits of installing Battery Storage:

• Save even more money on your energy bills
• Buy less energy from the grid
• Maximise the investment in your property

Volt Electrical have installed Solar PV and Battery Storage systems on domestic residences of many types, sizes and complexities, providing excellent customer service from start to finish with each individual project. We pride ourselves on offering a bespoke system to meet your individual energy needs and offer the very best advice, products and service to ensure that your home installation is cost effective, great value and reliable.

Benefits of Solar PV

• Reduce your electricity bills: A solar PV system generates electricity which your home will consume before importing from the grid. When signed up to The Smart Export Guarantee, any excess generation not being consumed within your home will be directed back to the grid. In this case you will be paid for exporting the excess electricity depending on your tariff.
• Reduce your Carbon Footprint: electricity generated by solar is a clean energy that doesn’t release any harmful pollutants, including carbon dioxide.
• Sustainable Energy: The sun is a natural, unlimited source of energy and harnessing its immense power doesn’t harm the environment or drain the earth’s own natural resources.
• Low Maintenance: Solar PV systems are generally very reliable. They have no moving parts so require relatively little maintenance and most solar panels have a 25-year warranty
