Solar PV

Solar PV stands for Solar Photovoltaic, and put basically is solar power – the means of using the sun’s power to provide electrical energy.  Solar PV is an up and coming energy source as concerns grown over the future availability of renewable energy and the environmental issues of other energy such as fossil fuels are highlighted.  Solar PV does not damage the environment and will never run out.

For homes and businesses the most common use of Solar PV is Solar PV panels.  Solar PV panels are usually placed on the roof of a property.   The Solar PV panels are then connected from the roof to the electrical supply of the property.  The Solar PV panels produce energy from sunlight.  It does not matter if it is cloudy or cold; as long as there is daylight, energy will be produced.  More Solar PV will be produced during the summer months as nights remain lighter for longer.  There is also generally more daylight in the South of the UK than the North.

As outlined above, whilst in use Solar PV panels do not emit any greenhouse gasses and each kilowatt-peak of solar PV energy saves approximately 455 kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions when compared with traditional fossil fuels.  This is a huge selling point of Solar PV, although it is worth noting that another source of power will be required as Solar PV can only produce around 40-50% of a home’s electricity needs within a year.  This will, however, reduce your energy bills by around 40-50% which in today’s economic climate is another great selling point.

If Solar PV panels sounds like something that will work for your property, you can purchase them from Axiosenergy.co.uk.  With the Government currently paying you to generate electricity it is great money saving technology.   Despite popular misconceptions Solar PV panels work well in the UK as energy is produced using sunlight not heat.  For a quote and more information on Solar PV visit Axiosenergy.co.uk.
