Solar Panels
How much can you really save?
What is a solar panel and how does it work?
A solar panel, or solar module, is one component of a photovoltaic
system. They are constructed out of a series of photovoltaic cells
arranged into a panel. They are installed to generate electricity by
collecting energy from the Sun in the form of sunlight and convert it
into electricity that can be used to power homes or businesses.
What is the average number of solar panels in a UK home?
One of the determining factors in figuring out how many solar panels you need is the number of people in a household. A 6kW solar panel system is recommended for a home with over five people, while a 5kW solar system is typical for a home with four people. A 4kW solar system is one of the most common sizes for domestic solar systems, as it suits homes with 3 to 4 people. The number of solar panels you need will vary depending on whether your installation is a 3kW or 6kW, and the size of solar panels you will use. For example, if you install a 3kW solar system using 250W panels, then you need 12 solar panels. A 6kW system would need 24 solar panels.
