Working, Components, and Benefits:

Converting DC to AC
The electricity used in homes and businesses is alternating current (AC). To make the direct current (DC) electricity generated by solar panels usable, an inverter is installed with the system. The inverter converts DC electricity to AC electricity, which can then power your appliances and lights. If you generate more electricity than you consume, you can even export the surplus to the grid station.
Costs of Solar Panels
The typical cost of a residential solar panel system in the UK ranges from ÂŁ5,000 to ÂŁ11,000. However, the exact cost depends on the number of panels required for your home, which is determined by your energy consumption. On average, most UK households spend between ÂŁ6,000 and ÂŁ8,000.
Solar Batteries:
If you want to store surplus energy, you’ll need to purchase a solar battery. The cost of a solar battery depends on its size and capacity, typically ranging between £1,200 and £6,000.

Grants for Solar Panels

To help reduce the cost of installing solar panels, you can apply for a government grant under the ECO4 Scheme. This scheme provides low-income households the opportunity to replace inefficient heating systems with more eco-friendly options. If you or anyone in your household receives government benefits, you may be eligible for these grants.

FAQ

A solar PV panel is like a tiny factory that converts sunlight into electricity. It is made up of many cells containing layers of semi-conducting material, most commonly silicon. So, when the sun shines on these cells, it makes electricity by moving electrons around.

Unlike conventional power plants that rely on fossil fuels, solar panels don’t need direct sunlight to work. They can even generate electricity on cloudy days. However, the amount generated will be less than on a sunny day. So, the stronger the sunlight, the more electricity is produced.

A solar PV system is made up of several panels, typically mounted on your roof. Each panel can generate around 355 watts of energy in strong sunlight. Generally, a typical system for a home might contain around 10 panels, generating direct current (DC) electricity.

What are Solar Panels?

Solar electricity panels, also known as photovoltaics (PV), act like mini power plants on your roof. They capture the sun’s energy and convert it into electricity to power your home. With solar panels, you become your own electricity producer, reducing reliance on the national grid and lowering your energy costs. This way, you’ll generate clean, green electricity that benefits the environment and helps combat climate change.

Characteristics of Solar Panels

Efficiency

The majority of domestic solar panels in the UK have an efficiency of around 15-20%. This is similar to the efficiency of solar panels worldwide. This level of efficiency is sufficient to significantly reduce your energy bills and carbon emissions.

Warranty

Solar panel systems typically come with a warranty lasting 25-30 years. Some manufacturers offer lifetime warranties, which guarantee that the power output of your panels will never drop below 80% of their initial efficiency.

Seasonality

The UK weather is suitable for solar panels to operate efficiently throughout most of the year, including in the winter. Solar panels can generate enough energy to power 33-51% of a home during the winter period. With a solar battery, you can even store excess electricity for a dark, winter day and increase that percentage.

Additional Costs

In addition to the cost of the solar panels and battery, there are several other expenses to consider when installing a solar PV system

Planning permission

You may need to obtain planning permission from your local council before installing solar panels.

Installation

The cost of installation will vary depending on the size and complexity of your system.

Maintenance

You will need to have your solar panels serviced regularly to ensure that they are working properly.
