Photovoltaic (PV) panels are panels you can attach to your building that use the energy from the sun to generate electricity with no waste and no emissions - this can then be used to run appliances and lighting.

Importantly, solar panels do not rely on direct sunlight to work - as long as there is daylight, power will be generated.

Put simply, photovoltaic panels convert of sunlight into electrical power

PV cells come in a variety of shapes and sizes from bolt on panels to "solar tiles" that look like roof tiles and slates and can be built into the surface of the roof.

These are then connected back to an inverter which connects the system to your Electricity supply.

It’s a green energy that’s nothing less than the future, and with growing concern about climate change and carbon emissions, PV offers a solution that is sustainable.

There are many methods of integrating a PV array a building and Eco Innovations can advise on all aspects of the installation.

The map to the left shows the total average solar radiation
falling on one square metre of surface inclined at 30 degrees
to the horizontal, measured in kilowatt hours.

This is typically called a "sunshine hours map" and the darker the colour the more sunshine hours you have in your area. The areas that have more sunlight will get a better performance from there solar panels but it doesnt mean that the solar panels are not working. Solar panels still work on a cloudy day. It is worth mentioning that solar photovoltaic panels actually work better in cooler tempuraters, so perfect for the UK!
