Solar Electricity Panels - Photovoltaic Panels (PV)
Solar electricity panels, also known as photovoltaic panels (PV), capture the sun’s energy and convert it into electricity.
The electricity generated by the solar PV panels is DC. It must be put through an inverter to convert it to AC so it can be used immediately to power appliances, lighting and other electrical devices in your home.
Any excess power can be stored in batteries (if local battery storage is available) for later use.
Excess power can also fed back into the national electricity grid (if indeed the house is connected to the grid) through a process called ‘net metering’. You can even earn for the surplus energy you supply back to the grid, reducing your electricity bills.
KPH Renewals supply and fit SOLAR PANELS to business, industry, commerce, and domestic homes not only in Ballymena, but throughout County Antrim and the north of Ireland.
We can arrange a visit to your home or premises in Ballymena and we will conduct a survey and give you a FREE QUOTATION.
