Fitting Solar Photovoltaic (Solar PV) Systems
Introduction
Solar panel systems can be fitted to current homes to provide electricity to the home during sunlight hours. This energy can really help the resident reduce the amount of electricity that they need to buy from their energy supplier, reducing their energy bills and helping the resident’s financial situation.
The systems can be fitted directly onto the roof of homes, roofs of outhouses, garages or storage areas as well as being ground mounted in the garden. Ideally the PV panels need to face south, but they can also face east/west and still create enough energy. North facing may be suitable, but you need to do research as to how much energy you are likely to produce and if it’s worthwhile.
