Residential Solar Panels
Knowing what system to get for your home is one of the most difficult things someone needs to figure out, but don’t worry, you’re not alone.
Solar is one of the best ways to reduce your power bills because as you know, the cost of electricity is only going up and this is the most beneficial way to avoid this.
When the sun is out and shining on your solar panels the energy from the sunlight is absorbed by the cells in the panel, this then produces an electrical current known as DC (Direct Current). The current runs through the inverter that has been installed in your home changing the current to AC (Alternating Current) that will power your home as most homes and businesses use AC.
Why You Should Get Solar Panels
The best time to maximise your use of solar system is between 9am-3pm but don’t worry, if you aren’t home during those times there are ways you can still benefit.
Many people will put their appliances on timers so dishwashers, washing machines and dryers are all set to be operating during the peak of the day while you are at work.
If this isn’t an option then that’s fine, solar still reduces your electricity bill even if you aren’t home; appliances on stand-by are taken care of. After 3pm you are still saving money and benefitting from the feed-in tariff as the electricity you don’t use is exported to the grid.
On average people will reduce electricity bills by 80% by installing solar panels, with the other bonus being the environmental benefits, you are reducing your carbon footprint.
Each panel comes with their own warranty ranging from 12 to 25 years with product, performance and manufacturer warranties. In addition, our dedicated after-care team is ready to ensure you’re looked after once your system has been installed.
