Solar PV is a silent source of renewable energy without any of the toxic side effects of conventional electricity production. It produces electricity from the sun at the point of demand e.g. at your property. It will work in low light conditions, even in the UK winter time, but the amount of solar power produced will vary with the amount of daylight.
With a solar panel PV system your property will use the emission-free electricity at the time of production, providing you have electrical appliances requiring electricity at that time, and the excess unused electricity will automatically be exported to the National Grid. The average household will produce much more power than needed in the long summer months – this energy cannot be stored with a grid connected PV system. Typically, when you then consume electricity, the outgoing/incoming power can be measured and you only pay for any additional power used and supplied by your electricity provider.
