Solar PV

Solar PV works by generating electricity by the conversion of solar radiation (light). Solar PV works even on dull cloudy days and does not require constant direct sunlight.

The photovoltaic cells contained within the Solar PV panels convert solar radiation into direct current electricity (D/C).  An inverter then converts the D/C current to A/C electricity that we can use to power our electrical appliances in homes, businesses and schools.

Is Solar PV suitable for me?

We will carry out a full no obligation site survey as part of the quotation process to establish if Solar PV is suitable for your roof.

Most roofs are suitable; however there is more benefit if the orientation is South, South East or South West as this will maximise the amount of light. It is also preferable to have little or no shading, i.e. from trees or other buildings.

Solar PV can also be fixed on out buildings, on a wall or be freestanding and angled at ground level.

Some planning restrictions may apply for example for buildings in conservation areas and listed buildings. It is recommended you contact your local authority planning office to discuss your requirements prior to installation.

Aethon Green Energy uses a range quality brand of Solar Panels, such as Phono Solar, Schott, Mitsubishi and Sharp.

An inverter will be positioned inside your property, usually in the loft.  Additional monitoring devices can be used to record the amount of electricity you produce. You can even download the information to your PC to track the amount of renewable energy produced over the year.

Aethon Green Energy uses a range of quality brands of inverters including SMA, Kaco and  Mastervolt.
