Solar PV For the Home
For domestic properties, solar PV works by capturing sunlight through solar panels, which are made up of numerous photovoltaic cells.
These cells contain semiconductors that absorb photons from sunlight, generating an electric current through the photovoltaic effect.
This direct current (DC) is then converted into alternating current (AC) by an inverter, making it compatible with your home’s electrical system. Any excess electricity generated can be exported to the grid, providing a potential source of income through schemes like the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG).
Speaking of the Smart Export Guarantee, it’s a government scheme that replaced the Feed-in Tariff (FIT) in 2019. Under the SEG, homeowners with solar PV systems can receive payments for the excess electricity they export to the grid. This incentivizes the adoption of renewable energy technologies while ensuring fair compensation for households contributing to the energy transition.

Examples Of Our Work
What is a solar panel inverter?
The solar panel inverter is essentially the heart of any solar panel system. The inverter is responsible for taking the energy produced by the solar panels, and converting this to electricity that can be used by your home and the national grid. The energy produced by roof solar panels is direct current, and this has to be converted to grid accepting alternating current. There are different sizes and types of inverter that suit different solar panel systems. These include:
Stand Alone Inverter
This is used in an isolated system where feeding electricity to the mains is not required. Instead the electricity produced will be used by the system, and will also usually charge an AC battery for use when sunlight is not available.
Grid-Tie Inverters
These are connected to the grid, so that you can automatically send excess electricity back to the grid for an export rate.
