Solar savings
This form of energy has seen a huge upturn in interest lately as the heavy winter fuel bills start to eat into budgets. Solar panel electricity systems capture the sun’s energy using photovoltaic cells. These cells don’t need direct sunlight to work as they can still generate some electricity even on a cloudy day. The cells then convert the sunlight into electricity which can be used to run all house-hold appliances and lighting.

Benefits of solar electricity
– Reduced bills. Sunlight is free so once you have installed your electricity bills will reduce significantly.
– Get paid for the electric you generate. There are schemes available where you get paid for the power you generate.
– Cut your carbon footprint. Solar power is green renewable energy and doesn’t release any harmful carbon dioxide or other pollutants.
How do solar panels cells work?
The cells are made from layers of semi-conducting material, usually silicon. When light shines on the cell it creates an electric field across the layers. The stronger the sunshine the more electricity is produced. Groups of cells are mounted together in panels or modules that can either be mounted on your roof or on the ground.
