Our head of solar, Scott Duncan, answers all the important questions you might have before deciding to install solar panels. 1. How do solar panels work? Solar power uses a process called the photovoltaic effect, which turns the sun's radiation into electricity. Solar panels are made up of lots of photovoltaic cells containing silicon.
Yes, solar panels can be installed on the ground, and this is known as a ground-mounted solar system. This option is ideal if your roof is not suitable for solar panels due to shading, structural issues or limited space.
Silicon-based solar panels are by far the most commonly deployed, accounting for over 90% of the global market. When considering installing solar PV panels on your roof you will typically be limited to the products which individual installers offer. Be sure to ask to see the technical specification for the solar panels they are offering.
1.1. What are solar panels? The term 'solar panel' can refer to a wide range of solar technologies. It is often used interchangeably between the panels that generate electricity and those that generate heat. Solar panels which produce electricity are referred to in the industry as 'solar photovoltaic (PV) modules.'
The amount of electricity generated annually will depend on a range of factors including the hardware chosen, size of system, the geographical location and the direction in which the panels
