What is Solar PV and How Do Solar Panels Work?

Short for solar photovoltaics, solar PV essentially refers to the conversion of sunlight into electrical energy.

Typically installed onto roofs or placed on the ground, solar panels are made with layers of a semiconducting material which responds to sunlight. Silicon is a popular material for solar panels.

When the sunlight reaches the panels, the electrons come loose which creates a flow of electricity. You don’t always need blue skies and sunshine in order for solar panels to generate electricity, even a small amount of natural light can have an effect.

In order for the electricity generated by the solar panels to be converted into usable energy for your appliances an inverter will need to be installed. This converts the direct current electricity from the panels into alternating current for your home.

That’s the basic rundown of how solar PV works, but our expert electrical contractors Peterborough are on hand to answer all your queries.

These remarkable eco-friendly solar panel systems are available in the following installations:

Integrated roof systems
Rail mounted roof systems
Rail mounted building wall systems
Weighted Ballast systems
Tracking systems (These can boost return by 300% over a standard staking system)

The Top Advantages of Solar Panels

System stability and independency from the grid

Not having to rely on the grid for all your electricity should make your energy supply more reliable. You’ll also have better protection against energy price volatility allowing you to fix tomorrow’s energy costs today.

Low visual impact and zero noise pollution

As solar panels are primarily installed onto roofs and offer a silent operation, you won’t have to worry about any aesthetic issues. Your home and business can maintain a green agenda without compromising on your exterior design.

Contributes to a sustainable future

Whether you’re a home or business owner, solar PV is a renewable energy resource which uses the sun to power your premises. Reduce your carbon footprint and reliance on fossil fuels with solar panel installation by Bailey Electrical.

Smart Export Guarantee

If your solar PV generates enough renewable electricity, you can benefit from the Smart Export Guarantee which allows you to export any excess electricity to the grid. This is something that both residential and commercial solar panel owners can utilise to generate extra income.

Solar Panel Battery Storage

Any excess energy generated by your solar panels can be conveniently stored in a battery for when light levels become low. Batteries are available from many manufacturers, including the popular Tesla range. Containing extra power supply for when you need it, we always select the best battery to suit your requirements.

Solar Panel Maintenance

It’s important to make sure your solar panels are kept clean to ensure maximum sunlight absorption. A light brush and garden hose should suffice, but with heavy soiling you can use warm soapy water. Avoid using a jet wash as these could damage the silica panels. Bailey Electrical offers professional cleaning and maintenance for your solar panels.

Voltage Optimisers

Voltage optimisers are another great way to maximise the optimisation of any existing grid-supplied electrical energy. These work by decreasing the voltage from 250 volts to 220 volts, which can reduce electricity costs and enhance the performance of the electricity used in your installation.

Green Energy Services

At Bailey Electrical we don’t just supply solar PV, we are also OZEV authorised installers of EV charging points.

Whether you’re looking for an EV charging point installation for home or work, we have many types of solar-powered charging points available to suit a range of vehicles and locations. We also supply electric vehicle charging outlets for commercial and public spaces. If your customers, employees or residents own electrical vehicles, they’ll need access to a charging point. With our efficient, no-hassle service can help you meet your greener energy goals.

FAQs

What happens to excess solar energy?

This is where solar panel battery storage comes in. You can install a battery which is designed to store excess solar power for a rainy day. For advice and recommendations on having a battery installed, speak to us today.

Once both your solar panels have collected enough energy and your storage battery has reached its full capacity, any extra electricity can be sent to the electrical grid. A meter installation will accurately record how much energy is sent to the grid so you can be credited.

So, if your solar panels are effective enough to produce an excess amount of energy, you should be able to save money on future bills.

Are solar panels right for me?

There are a few criteria that our installers will look out for to ensure solar panels will work effectively on your premises. For instance, there should be little to no shading on your roof and your roof should ideally face south, although anywhere to the south of due east and due west are feasible. We can arrange a site visit at a time to suit you where we can assess whether solar panels are the right course of action.

Do I have to be on-the-grid if I have solar panels?

If you have solar panels installed you can choose to be on or off-the-grid. Going off-the-grid means you won’t be able to access the main electricity network. You’ll need to be confident that the energy supplied by your solar panels or other means will be sufficient. Our expert technicians can walk you through your options and help advice on whether going on or off-the-grid is right for you.

How much do solar panels cost?

The cost of solar panels varies depending on the size of the panels and the amount you want to have installed. We recommend you contact us to get a clearer understanding regarding their cost.

How many solar panels do I need?

This depends on what you want to get out of your installation. If you are looking to power your entire home or business then you will need significantly more panels than if you are looking to offset your bills.

How long do solar panels last?

Solar panels typically last between 25 and 30 years with proper care and maintenance.

How to clean solar panels?

When cleaning your solar panels, it is recommended that you use a soft material cloth with a safe biodegradable soap. Using harsh chemicals and cleaning equipment can damage them.
