Solar PV Systems

Photovoltaic panels only need daylight to start producing electricity from solar radiation. A system can charge a large bank of batteries for electricity use when required, or can be connected to the mains to sell back excess watts to the network. As the power from photovoltaic cells requires nothing but solar radiation, they are a very green alternative to electricity from fossil-fuel-burning power stations. Grants equal to as much as 50% of installation cost have been paid by the government, to encourage uptake of this green alternative.
