Solar Panels For Your UK Home: Everything You Need To Know

Posted by Resi - Design & Construction on 3rd November 2022 -

Demand for solar panels for UK households has grown exponentially in the past decade, and even more in the past few months. With lower manufacturing costs and improvements in efficiency, solar panels have become a viable option for households wishing to produce their own energy.

Much about solar panels remains misunderstood, however, as they are still sometimes perceived as overly expensive and inefficient.

This article will explain what a solar panel is and go through the different types that exist. It will also answer questions surrounding efficiency, solar batteries, and solar panel prices.

We will also discuss some of the schemes available to you to make solar panels more affordable.

A solar panel is made up of photovoltaic (PV) cells. First used in the early twentieth century, these cells are responsible for converting the sun’s rays into an electric current. Let’s take a closer look, now, at the different types of solar panels available on the market.
