Solar PV Panels

Why install Solar panels?

• Help the Environment
• Save Money.
• Access to Government Grants that can help you pay to improve your heating bills.
• Sell Electricity back to the National Grid

Solar PV stands for 'solar photovoltaic'. Solar PV panels catch sunlight and the sun's radiation, turning them into solar electricity to power either a house or a commercial building.

A solar PV system is made up of panels consisting of very thin layers of silicon. As soon as the sun's radiation or light hit the PV panels, they convert it straight into DC electricity. A converter then transforms this into AC electricity, which can then be used to power your home or building.

An export meter is also installed with all of Essex Insulation's Solar  PV panels. This allows consumers to generate surplus electricity, which can then be sold back to the National Grid.
