What is Solar PV?
Solar electric systems are also commonly referred to as ‘solar photovoltaic’ or ‘solar PV’. Photovoltaic technology on a small scale is probably familiar to most people in Ireland. It is used to power calculators, road signs, toys and phone chargers. Taking light from the sun, it uses it to run the appliance. Solar panels for electricity work on the same principle, just at a larger scale.
Sunlight is all you need to get electricity from the panels. Although more electricity is produced on sunny days they work well on overcast days too. Solar PV systems are easy to install and can last upwards of 40 years.
The system may consist of:
PV Panels
Hybrid Inverter
Battery Storage
WiFi Monitoring
Hot Water Diverter/Immersion Controller
Electric Car Charger
