Battery Storage and Solar Photovoltaics
Introduction
Solar PV systems turn sunlight into electricity through the ‘solar cells’ they contain. These cells are made from thin layers of a material (usually silicon) between layers of glass. Electricity leaves the panel and passes through an inverter system that makes it ready for use in the home. Solar panels are typically installed on roofs to maximise exposure to the sun.
This quick guide document aims to address some of the common misconceptions in domestic retrofit regarding battery storage and solar photovoltaics (PV). This document has been designed to help local authority (LA) officers and registered providers advise residents regarding battery storage and solar PV measures.
