Trusted Commercial Solar Panel Installations London

Solar Power Portal states that the UK has over 18GW of installed solar capacity that powers the homes and businesses across the nation. There are more than 1.8 million solar installations across the UK and the government is targeting major solar expansion by 2030, as per GOV.UK. In recent years, Solar Energy UK has recorded that solar now generates over 6% of electricity in the UK.

Solar panels for commercial installation in London take you through a process of getting your roof site assessed and connected to the grid. The photovoltaic (PV) panels are a device that converts the sun’s light into direct current (DC) power. The inverter receives this DC power and changes it into usable alternating current (AC) electricity to run your business equipment. This not only allows you to lower your electric bill and carbon footprint, but also allows you to sell excess electricity back to the grid and your installers will design, mount, wire and test each system for maximum energy generation and safe operation.

How Solar Panels Produce Electricity

• Photovoltaic (PV) Effect: This refers to how the silicon cells in the panels absorb sunlight, or photons, to generate electricity.
  
• DC to AC Conversion: The sunlight creates DC electricity which is then converted using an inverter to do the many functions of AC power to run the devices in your business.
  
• Light (Daylight) not just Sun: The panels absorb any light and do not require direct sunlight to produce electricity. They will generate electricity on cloudy days.

• Identifying Shading: Continue monitoring obstructions to your system’s sunlight exposure by checking newly growing trees and new buildings in your area.
• Cleaning Solar Panels: To avoid 15% to 25% loss in energy production, clean your solar panels 2-4 times a year (or as needed), depending on dirt or grime buildup.
• Inspection: Conduct visual inspections of your solar panels twice a year (spring & fall) for cracks, discolouring or mounting problems.
• Electrical Inspections: Check electrical cabling running from the solar panels to the inverter for corroded wires, any signs of rodent damage and/or loose connections.
• Storm Damage Inspection: After a major storm system has passed, always inspect your solar array for potential damage.
