How It Works

Solar photovoltaic (or PV for short), is a technology in which daylight is converted into electrical power. Energy from the sun is used to create electricity that will operate electrical appliances and lighting.

• Photovoltaic panels convert daylight into DC (direct current).
• An inverter (a small box usually placed in the loft area) converts the electricity from Direct Current (DC) into domestically useable alternating current (AC). Once converted, a meter logs how much electricity has been created which you receive 43.3p a unit for.
• The power is then sent straight to the home’s CCU (fuse box). When electrical items in the house require power, they will take it from the generated energy rather than the national grid (saving typical electricity cost of 14p per unit).
• When the solar PV system produces more energy than is needed, the power is exported to the grid, which you get paid an additional sum for (typically 3p).
• At night, power is imported from the grid in the normal way.
