Solar Water Heating (Thermal Collectors)

Solar power can be used to heat your home and provide a hot domestic water supply.

Solar panels are carefully placed on the roof of your home to ensure maximum exposure to daylight. The panels convert the light into heat and use thermal stores and pipes to distribute the heat through water heating (i.e. radiators)

Solar Electricity (PhotoVoltaics)

Solar PV panels convert radiation from the sun directly into electrical power to run your homes’ electrical appliances and lighting.

Solar PV panels are placed on your roof and require only daylight to generate electricity making them an effective source of sustainable energy all year round.

A PV panel consists of cells each consisting of two layers of semi-conductor materials. When the light shines on these, an electrical current is created which is then distributed around your home.
