Solar Powered Systems

Your own mini power station

Solar Electric panels generate electricity using the photovoltaic (PV) effect. The solar panels are fitted to your roof and convert light into clean, green electricity. This electricity is fed through an inverter directly to the house or through a meter directly into the grid.

In effect, your home becomes a mini power station generating electricity for your own use. If you are making more power than your household uses, your solar system is feeding electricity back into the grid.

During the day some of the solar power is consumed by lighting and appliances and the remainder of power is fed back into the grid. At night where there is low solar gain, the grid supplies the majority of your electricity needs.

If a suitable sized solar system is matched to your power demands, your annual electricity bill could be almost zero. Of course, there is a system to suit every budget which can be upgraded at any time.
