These panels look very different to photovoltaic panels and can provide your home with the majority of its annual hot water needs and also space heating in new build applications.
Learn about solar heating panels >>PV electric solar panels - These produce electricity, to contribute towards your energy needs for your home. Current feed in tariffs allow you to sell your generated power even if you use it yourself.
Solar power generally means they harvest sunlight which convert photons into energy. The PV (photovoltaic) panels are made up of individual solar cells, arranged in a grid like pattern which convert the photons into electrons during the daytime and convert them into electricity. The energy generated from photons hitting the surface knock electrons out of their orbit and releases them.
Solar panels are traditionally made from crystalline silicon and gallium arsenide which is specially produced. If a panel is rated at 180W it will perform up to that level in the brightest sunny day which would generate 1,000 watts per square metre.
Learn about pv solar panels >>Solar panel technology has been around for 60 years, with the development increasing the efficiency and performance of them, and are now seen as one of the future sources of energy for businesses and homes.

Solar heating panels come in 2 types. Known as evacuated solar tubes or flat plate solar panels, it is generally accepted that the solar tubes give better performance, but flat panels can be inset into the roof just like a velux window. We can give you a quotation on both types of installation or if you have electrical or plumbing skills, then our DIY solar panels kits may be suitable.
On-grid connected photovoltaics solar panels (PV) simply put are generators producing electricity from daylight through a process called photo-voltaic's. "Photo" refers to light and "voltaic"to electricity. Photons creating Electrons which are converted from AC into a DC current were it can be used within your home or exported to sell electricity to the National Grid.
Some companies do offer free solar panels offers but we always recommend installing yourself.
