How do I get an Energy Independent Home?
In the times of the Energy Crisis can you become Energy Independent? We find out if it’s possible. How do I get an Energy Independent Home? – What is a Energy Independent Home? A self-sufficient home is one that can independently produce all the power it needs, without the need to rely on an external […]
Inverter or Micro Inverter? We discuss the Pro’s & Cons to help you make an informed decision.
Solar inverters have one core function: convert the direct current (DC) solar panels generate into an alternating current (AC), which is the type of electricity used in your home. Inverter technology has been steadily evolving over the past several decades to better enable homeowners to reap maximum power from their PV systems. Both string inverters […]
What is a Solar Inverter and why do I need one?
The heart of your solar PV system Many people spend many hours wondering which panel they should choose and don’t give a thought to any other component of the system. However the real heart of the system is the solar inverter, a very clever piece of kit which costs between £500 and £1,200 on a […]
Do Solar Panels have maintenance?
One of the most appealing aspects of solar PV is that it requires very little maintenance in return for decades of functioning lifetime. With no moving parts, solar panels aren’t put under the mechanical stresses inherent in other generators. But the system is a significant investment – with most of its return based on using […]
Can Solar PV give me a ROI? Lets find out…
Can Solar PV give me a ROI? It’s now been three years since solar subsidies were phased out and tax rates first hiked, then dramatically scrapped. At the same time, electricity prices have continued to rise, especially during the recent energy crisis. So what does this mean for the economics of solar power? In short, are […]
What is Peak Output of a Solar PV Panel
What is Peak Output of a Solar PV Panel A perennial source of confusion when researching solar PV is peak performance. We regularly classify solar systems by their peak, their kWp. But does a system ever reach its peak? In very hot weather over the summer, system owners often observe a drop in performance – […]
