Solar technologies harness sunlight to provide energy for your home. Solar water heating systems heat your water directly, reducing your carbon footprint and energy bills. Photovoltaic (PV) panels generate electricity from sunlight. Excess electricity can be sold back to the grid, cutting costs further. PV panels, typically mounted on roofs or unshaded areas, convert sunlight into usable electricity through inverters. This electricity can power your home appliances, with surplus energy exported to the grid, potentially earning you Feed-in Tariff payments. A battery system can store excess solar energy for use during cloudy periods or at night, though it’s optional and doesn’t directly enhance system efficiency.
