How to Understand Microgeneration - Solar PV


Listen Later

This short film on behalf of n power details all you need to know about photovoltaic (PV) solar panels. How they use solar energy to generate electricity for your own home, how the surplus energy they generate can be sold back to your supplier and how their use can drastically reduce the number of power stations in the UK. In the film our presenter Oliver Heath talks to eco-first, a company who assist n power in supplying and installing PV panels. Oliver discovers just how easy and simple the installation process is and how twice a year you can phone up for a meter reading to cost up the energy your panels have put back into the grid. The payment for this energy will then be put straight into your bank account by your supplier. Oliver also discovers that if 25% of the country used PV panels, they would generate the same amount of electricity as 3.25 power stations!
