How does it work?

A Solar PV panel uses a series of Photovoltaic cells made from a semi conductor material (normally silicon) to convert daylight directly into electricity. The greater the intensity of light, the greater the flow of electricity. Solar powered calculators are a very common example of this type of technology.

The power of a PV cell is known as kilowatt peak (kWp). In the UK for every kWp of Solar PV installed it generates on average 850 kilowatt hours (kWh) or units of electricity per annum. The PV cells generate DC electricity and send it to the inverter which then transforms DC power into AC electricity (230V), 50 Hz. This is the same type of electricity that is supplied to households or commercial properties by the mains power grid.
