We now offer a service in Solar/ Photo-voltaic installation and servicing. This is overseen by the Micro-generation Certification Scheme (MCS) and is regulated by the Renewable Energy Consumer Code. Installations are connected to G98 under BS7671 and BS EN 62446.
There are two types of inverter systems, Micro Inverters or Standard Inverters. The difference is the micro inverters are inbuilt within the solar panels where as standard inverters are generally within the building. Micro inverters although having a greater installation cost have a warranty period which can be 4 or 5 times longer than a standard inverters.
Due to continual government changes in feed in tariffs for new solar installations consumers are increasingly using battery storage rather than exporting energy back onto the grid. These storage systems are increasingly being used to power Electric Vehicles giving customers green miles and reduced transport costs.
There are some different types PV Modules mono-crystaline, poly-crystaline,thin film technology and hybrid. Mono-crystaline are more expensive and more efficient at converting solar irradiance into electrical energy. Poly-crystaline are less uniform in appearance and are the most common type of module, they are cheaper and produce less energy. Thin film technology are normally black, grey or reddish brown in colour. These are the cheapest to produce and are best for low light conditions. Hybrid panels are combination of Mono-crystaline and thin film technology and are the newest on the market.
Power divert systems are the new technology within Photo-Voltaic installations. What it is power divert? It is when we use electrical energy from the solar panels to heat water through immersion tanks. Generally the most expensive cost and energy consuming use of electricity is heating water. We can convert your solar energy to warm water you use every day. The savings on your utility bills can be considerable.
