A typical 4Kwp PV system from MCS accredited PV Solar UK Ltd comprises of installing 22x Sharp 180 watt Monocrystaline modules ideally on a south facing roof (or as close as possible) with a pitch of 30-35 degrees.

Along with the panels themselves, there are other key components to a PV installation, such as an inverter, protection isolators, mounting system, specialised cabling and metering equipment. All of which have a purpose are a key part to play.

Our specialised ClickFit® mounting system can be adapted to fit almost any roof type. From standard concrete tiles, slate, rosemary, corrugated steel and even flat roofs. On a tiled roof install, the tiles are temporarily slid back and serrated hooks are placed over the underlying tile and behind the baton. From here, ClickFit®’s patented rails simply click into the now installed hooks and the modules are “hung” on top and secured down with clamps.

With the 22x modules securely installed to the roof, we start to work on the electrics. With all grid-tied PV systems, there are 2 sides to the electrical installations: A DC side and an AC. The system is now split in to 2 separate strings of 11x which are then connected together in series using the standard MC3® weather-proof connectors pre-installed on the back of each module.

The remaining cables from the 2 strings of 11x modules are then extended and fed into the attic/loft of the property via a small hole which will have to be drilled. This hole is fully sealed afterward to maintain a weather-proof roof.

The DC cable run from the roof is then fed into an Inverter via a lockable DC Isolator for protection. Each string is fed into its own independent MPPT tracker input on the Power-One® Aurora grid-tied inverter.

This dual MPPT technology from Power-One® is what separates it from its competition as it allows larger and split roof installations to achieve a higher yield of energy, meaning more income from the Feed in Tariff.

With the DC work now complete, the AC Output from the Inverter is then run through the property and wired into a new distribution board (which runs in parallel with the existing one) via another lockable isolator, designed for AC this time. A “Total Generation Meter” (TGM) is installed parallel to the electricity meter which measures the output of the PV generator from the Inverter and keeps a tally of the Kwh produced.

Finally, a circuit breaker is installed to protect the existing electrical setup of the property.

A final check of the system is then performed by the installation team to finalise the connections and ensure the relevant components are labelled with the correct safety information and grounded.

Once all checks have been completed and all aspects of the work deemed satisfactory, the isolators on the AC & DC sides are then switch to live and the system will be live.

If sufficient daylight is present at the time when the installation is completed, the system will start producing green electricity almost instantly.

Looking for free solar panels from the Government? Well, that’s not quite the offer available, but a lot of our customers ask this.

There is a relatively new government service designed to encourage the installation of solar panels, for generating free electricity from the sun. It is a well known fact that there are a few solar power grants available to aid in the fixture of a solar photovoltaic system. They are overseen by the Energy Saving Trust, with one of the most prominent being the UK Government backed Feed in Tariffs.

The Feed in Tariff Scheme is an example of a Clean Energy Cashback scheme, reimbursing people for producing their own green energy. The scheme has its origins in the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) incorporating the Energy Act 2008 to support carbon energy production. FITs now aid in the implementation of numerous solar photovoltaic systems.

PV systems employ photovoltaic plates, comprised of silicon cells. They are installed to the roof of the home. When struck by daylight they convert solar radiation to electrical energy. This is how you can literally channel the power of the sun to create electricity and FITS can assist in this task.

Feed in Tariffs have been operational since the 1st of April 2010. It is a payment for people fitting a PV system, to create electrical energy. The government backed system was created to augment energy production, while increasing its use in Britain. The plan is for Feed in Tariffs to raise energy levels through renewable means in Britain by 15% in ten years.

This February saw government grants for generating electrical energy come to an end. However, FITs proffer an exceptional enticement. It cuts down on reliance on the national grid, while reducing energy costs. But this barely scratches the surfaces on the extraordinary benefits both Feed in Tariffs and free solar panels afford.

As a MCS registered and accredited installer of solar photovoltaic systems – we can assist you in your efforts to install solar pv on the roof of your home. Contact us today to find out how!

They always say you don’t get anything for nothing in this life!

So it is understandable folk may be a little sceptical when they hear that you can get free solar panels installed on your roof? It sounds too good to be true. However, in this case, it actually is TRUE!

Free solar panel installation is no scam at PV Solar UK LTD. That is the beauty of installing a solar micro generation system and setting it up through the UK Government Feed In Tariff .The home owner is in a no lose situation. Solar panels (powered by photovoltaic cells) are fitted to your roof by our engineers, and you generate your own electricity, via the sun, which will power everything in your home, from heat to lighting.

Basically, it is very economical for the installer of free PV panels, to give their solar panels to customers for free. This is thanks to FITs. It is a payment dished out for each individual unit of electricity generated as a result of using solar panels. The value is presently expected to be 41.3p per Kwh, tax free. This is applicable whether you use up the power or not. Property owners will also earn a 3p additional bonus for supplementary electricity exported to the grid.

It is the contention of The Energy Saving Trust that a conventional solar panel system incurs approximately £800 in Feed In Tariff payments each year. If that wasn’t all, the government assures property owners the scheme will coincide with how long the lease lasts on the solar panels.

It is expected to continue for up to 25 years, resulting in a sizeable return for installer. The firm receives its payments from a utility company. The fact that free solar panels does not fall under the parameters of public spending only makes it all the more sweeter.

That’s why free solar panels are for free. Its a good deal all round. Although we can also provide your OWN system to, at the most competitive prices.

Why not compare our deals on free solar energy?

Dear PV Solar,

We are now the proud owners of 18 solar panels which adorn our south facing roof. Yesterday they looked magnificent gleaming in the sunshine against a blue sky and we generated 12 kilowatts. What more could you ask for?

Please pass on our thanks to Stefan and Jimmy the guys who carried out our installation. They worked hard all day with brisk efficiency and a polite manner. Would they qualify for a mention in the company newsletter or some other reward? I would certainly recommend them.

We live in Abingdon, Oxon and expect some local interest in our new installation. Would it be possible for a PV Solar advertising board to be place at the front of our house? I think it would be in both our interests.

Please  reply,

Graham Legg
