Solar Energy is the earths most available source of energy, working from both direct and indirect sunlight, this means that a photovoltaic system will still function on overcast days in Ireland will continue to generate free electricity for your business.

By installing Solar Power Systems in to your business, you are gaining huge electricity savings for your business and protecting yourself against the inevitable price rise from all energy suppliers. When asking yourself, how much are solar panels, it is important to know that financial incentives may also be available towards the installation cost of photovoltaic system for your business, this makes investing in this technology an attractive investment.

How Solar PV Technology Works

 

This technology works with a basic component known as a PV cell, often called a solar cell.  See Fig 1.1. This solar cell will convert the sunlight into direct current , a solar power inverter is used to turn this current into usable electricity known as alternating current from your business.  Meters are then used to show you the output of your solar panels.

As mentioned above, PV Cells work on sunlight rather than heat from the sun and area the most efficient solar Panels. Ireland has the same annual irradiation levels as many parts of Central Europe, a good average for the entire country is 1100 kwhr/m2/yr.

The output shown in Fig 1.2 below shows the output of a 130kwh system in Waterford, during May 2018. Almost at maximum output, this diagram shows how much free energy you can gain by installing Solar PV in to your business. The panels are simple to install, clean and highly effective. The Solar PV System is also the easiest way to meet the Irish Building Regulations Part L and to generate zero-emissions electricity.

As PV panels have no mechanical moving parts,  they  require less maintenance than other technologies.
