Should you upgrade or replace your solar panels?
Old solar panels, while still functional, might not be harnessing solar energy as effectively as the newer models. Replacing or upgrading to a more advanced model can thus translate to more electricity generation from the same square footage. Economic logic often drives homeowners and businesses to consider upgrades.
How do solar panels convert sunlight into electricity?
Solar panels or photovoltaic systems convert sunlight directly into electricity. Multiple solar cells are connected and packed together in a frame to form a solar panel, and multiple solar panels are connected to form a solar array. Solar photovoltaic panels transform sunlight into electricity which passes through a charge controller.
How do solar photovoltaic panels work?
Solar photovoltaic panels transform sunlight into electricity which passes through a charge controller. This electricity is in the form of direct current (DC) electricity, so it needs to be converted to alternating current (AC) so it can be used in the home.
How do I get the most out of solar panels?
To get the most out of solar PV, you’ll need to check that your home is suitable for solar power. This will depend on: To get the most out of solar panels, they should be installed on a south-facing, unshaded roof. East or west-facing roofs can also be considered. We wouldn’t recommend putting solar panels on a north-facing roof.
Can a person own a solar PV installation?
While an individual can own the solar PV panels installed at their property, there are instances where the owner of an installation may be different from the owner of the property or site at which the installation is located.
Can I switch energy suppliers with solar panels?
The company paying your subsidy is known as your FIT/SEG licensee – but they don’t need to also be your energy supplier. You can actually have separate contracts for your energy supply and your export payments. Switching energy suppliers with solar panels doesn’t need to affect your export tariff contract at all.
