Solar PV

Solar PV or Solar cells, also called photovoltaic cells, convert the sunlight directly into electricity. This electricity is then fed through an inverter that converts the DC current into AC power.

Photovoltaics (often called Solar PV) gets its name from the process of converting light (photons) to the electricity we use. This was first used in 1954 by scientists at Bell Laboratories who created a working solar cell made from silicon that generated an electric current when exposed to sunlight. Over the years the process and technology has improved and now electricity from solar cells has become cost effective due to the drop in prices in recent years.

How It Works

Panels
Solar panels will collect sunlight (even on cloudy days). The panels on your roof will collect this daylight and turn it in to usable power in the form of DC electricity.

Inverter
An inverter then turns that DC electricity into AC power to use in your business. Inverters typically get placed in or near your distribution board and can range in capacity from 2kW single phase to 83kW three phase.

Meter
The electricity is then fed through a meter and into your property’s distribution board where it then powers your business.
