Solar PV panels are usually mounted on your roof and work by absorbing sunlight and turning it into usable electricity. That electricity is then used to power your lights, appliances and other devices at home.
​If you generate more electricity than you use, you can feed the extra back into the grid - and get paid for it.
The key components of a solar PV system include:
A Cost-Effective, Low-Carbon Energy Source
Solar PV systems are low maintenance, long-lasting and can significantly reduce your energy bills over time.
Once installed, the electricity generated is free to use, and any surplus can either be stored (if you have a battery) or exported back to the grid through the Smart Export Guarantee.
​
Plus, you’ll be cutting your carbon emissions - great news for the planet and your home’s efficiency rating.
