1) Solar PV works by harvesting the sun's energy during daylight hours.
2) Solar Pv panels collect this energy and turn it into DC power.
3) This electricity is sent through an inverter where it is changed from DC power to AC power which can be used in the property.
4) The generated electricity passes through a meter where total generation data is collected.
5) Once the power reached your fuse board it will be distributed to items or appliances that are currently running.
6) Any surplus power which is not being used will now be exported to the national grid to be used elsewhere. (Unless you have battery storage)
During daylight hours, whilst the solar is generating, you will have the ability to use appliances for FREE from the Solar Pv, which can significantly reduce the energy bills for domestic and commercial properties.
The overall amount of energy you generate will all depend upon the size of the system you install. This can be determined by the roof/ground space available and the capacity of the local grid.
To enhance your energy savings we would also suggest installing a battery storage solution to minimise any export which would increase your savings further.
How Solar Works
At Entire Services we offer two different types of Solar Pv products. For most installations, we always look to suggest the Solaredge system which in our opinion is the market leader and the most innovative system. Unlike a traditional string inverter, Solaredge allows each individual panel to work to its own maximum output. Typically with a traditional string inverter, the system will work to the least efficient panel. This could be caused by shading, dirt or even bird mess.
A Solaredge system will identify this issue and allow the lowest reforming panel to underproduce whilst allowing the remaining panels to work to their maximum efficiency.
For customers with a tighter budget we can install a traditional string system using the very best manufactures in this category. We use the Solis range of string inverters for Traditional String systems and for inverter replacements in the case of an older inverter failing. Solis is a well respected, robust and flexible inverter manufacture and can be used in a variety of installation.
Traditional String Inverter
A traditional string system using a Solis inverter is our entry level Pv system which provides a quality and affordable entry system.
Solaredge Optimised Systems
Optimised PV Systems
Solaredge is by far the market leader and most innovative manufacturer on the market. Optimised Pv can generate up to 10% more annual yeild compared to a traditional string inverter.
Why Choose Entire Services
Entire Services have been working in the Solar Pv industry since 2012. Over these years we have built up a substantial amount of knowledge, which allows us to give you the best service. Our experience has been built up not only from our own sales & installations but also from working as approved installers for some of the largest Solar Pv companies in the country. Throughout the years, we have installed Solar Pv from the highlands of Scotlands to the South cost of England.
We are accredited by MCS (Microgeneration Certification Scheme) and also RECC (Renewable Energy Consumer Code) which perfectly highlights our commitment to our customer and their satisfaction. When it comes to buying a solar Pv system we are fully aware that there are some real “cowboys” out there. Our aim is to give you the information you need to make an informal decision. We never over inflate our prices, we never pressure sell and most importantly we never lie to win the deal.
It also goes without saying that all of our installations are carried out by qualified electricians and the certificated to local building control using our NICEIC accreditation.
