Photovoltaic panels convert light into electricity. Panels generate DC electricity from the sunlight which is fed through an invertor to convert to AC electricity.
The invertor is then connected to your consumer unit, so the electricity can be used within the home to contribute to your electricity requirements. You will be able to monitor what your system is generating.
Our windows are above current regulation standards. Keeping the heat in and the cold out.
Green mortgages may be available for new build homes. Lenders may offer better interest rates on new build homes because of their energy efficiency. In some cases they may also offer a better loan to value amount on a new build.
