For centuries we have harnessed the power of the sun but it is only recently that we have been able to trap and store that power effectively. Photovoltaic (PV) panels use the energy from the sun to generate electricity with no waste and no emissions - this can then be used to run appliances and lighting.

Importantly, solar panels do not rely on direct sunlight to work - as long as there is daylight, power will be generated.

Our surveyors will assess whether your building is suitable for solar panels, checking factors such as roof or wall aspect and the amount of sunlight received.

A number of solar panels will be connected together to form a module. The size of module required to help power a home depends on a number of factors: your energy needs, the type of panels used, and the roof space available.
