ECO4 Government Grant
Free Solar panels are available via the ECO4 UK government-backed grant scheme. You could be eligible to receive solar panels, combined with other home energy solutions, completely free. Use the power of the sun to run your home on clean green energy, and lower your energy bills. Our experienced engineers can install your new solar panel system quickly so you can start saving on your energy bills whilst reducing your home's carbon footprint.
Solar panels, also known as photovoltaic (PV) panels, are made up of many small units called solar cells. These cells are usually made of silicon, a semiconductor material.
When sunlight hits the solar cells, it knocks electrons loose from their atoms, creating an electric current. This is known as the photovoltaic effect.
The electricity generated by the solar cells flows as direct current (DC), which is then converted into usable alternating current (AC) by an inverter.
The AC electricity can be used immediately to power your home, fed back into the grid, or stored in a battery for later use.
A monitoring system tracks how much energy your panels are generating and using, helping you keep an eye on your savings and system performance.
Overall, home solar panels offer a renewable and sustainable way to generate electricity, helping to power your home and reducing your electricity bills over time.
