Solar electricity is harvested from light striking the surface of a panel. The panels are made of numerous small cells and are linked together in various configurations to produce a desired system design.

The panels can be integrated into the building in a variety of ways and, with grid connected systems, the energy produced is linked to the distribution panel of your electricity supply. This means the electricity produced will be used within the building. Any excess electricity will be exported to the grid.

The amount of energy produced by a solar system will depend largely on site conditions and customer requirements. Therefore, we recommend a Energy Pathfinder report be carried out to assess the likely benefits achieved from solar power.
