Supply and Installation of Solar PV Systems, Kendal Cumbria

Solar PV, or Photovoltaic, refers to the technology used to convert sunlight into electricity. It is a clean and renewable energy source that has been gaining popularity as a way to reduce carbon emissions and meet increasing energy demands.

A solar PV system typically consists of solar panels, an inverter, and a battery if energy storage is desired. Photovoltaic cells, which are semiconductor devices that convert sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity, make up the solar panels. The inverter then converts the DC electricity into alternating current (AC) electricity, the form used in homes and businesses.

Solar PV systems can be installed on rooftops, on the ground, or as part of larger utility-scale projects. Solar panels are becoming increasingly affordable and efficient, thus making them a cost-competitive alternative to traditional sources of electricity, such as coal and natural gas.

In addition to reducing carbon emissions and providing a reliable source of clean energy, solar PV can also reduce dependence on non-renewable energy sources, increase energy security, and create new jobs in the clean energy sector.

Solar Panel Installation FAQs

How do Solar Panels Work?

Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity using photovoltaic (PV) cells. When sunlight hits the cells, it generates a flow of electrons, producing direct current (DC) electricity, which is then converted into alternating current (AC) by an inverter for use in homes.

How long do solar panels last?

Solar panels typically last 25–30 years, with many manufacturers offering warranties for this period. Over time, they may experience slight degradation in efficiency, but they can still produce electricity beyond their warranty period.

Do solar panels work on cloudy days or during winter?

Yes, solar panels still generate electricity on cloudy days, though their efficiency is reduced. Solar panels perform best in direct sunlight, but they can also work in indirect light and cold temperatures, often performing better in colder climates because the efficiency of solar cells can decrease with heat.

What is the cost of installing solar panels?

The cost of installing solar panels in the UK varies depending on factors like system size, panel type, and installation complexity. Small systems (2-3 kW) for one- to two-bedroom homes can range from £4,200 to £7,000. Mid-size systems (3.5-4.9 kW), more suited to three- to four-bedroom homes, typically cost between £7,000 and £10,000. Adding a solar battery to store energy increases these upfront costs

Can solar panels completely power a home?

In many cases, yes. A properly sized solar system can meet 100% of a household’s electricity needs, depending on roof space, sunlight exposure, and energy consumption. Homes can also use batteries for storage to ensure power availability when sunlight isn’t strong.

Do solar panels need maintenance?

Solar panels require minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning to remove dust or debris and an annual inspection of the system’s electrical components are usually sufficient. Most solar panels come with warranties that cover performance and maintenance issues.

What happens during a power cut?

Solar panels typically shut down during a power cut for safety reasons unless you have a battery backup system or an inverter with an automatic shutoff feature. A backup battery can store excess energy and provide power during outages.

Can I sell excess energy produced by my solar panels?

Yes, you can sell excess energy generated by your solar panels in the UK through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG). The SEG is a government-backed scheme that allows homeowners to export unused solar energy back to the grid in exchange for payments from energy suppliers.
