How Does Solar PV Work

PV systems harvest the energy from the sun, convert it to electricity, and use it to power household appliances and lighting.  The systems don’t require heat or full sun to work therefore they continue to generate energy 365 days a year. The most obvious benefit of installing solar PV in your home is the environmental impact, reducing your household carbon footprint significantly. A typical household could reduce its carbon output by 1.2 to 1.7 tonnes a year by installing a PV system.

After the initial outlay for installation, the cost benefits are also significant.  Electricity bills are dramatically, if not completely reduced.
