| Solar photovoltaic (Solar PV) panels contain an array cells, made up of photovoltaic material, which convert solar energy radiating from the sun into DC electricity. These panels are then linked into specially designed arrays, typically placed on the tiles of roofs. The DC electricity generated by the Solar PV material is then converted to AC, using a special module called an inverter, which then makes the power useable in your home. A well designed and installed solar PV system will deliver a pleasing aesthetic modern look to any suitable property. Photovoltaics are typically found as solar PV panels and solar PV tiles. Both fullfill the same role, but in slightly different ways. Solar PV tiles are used like roof tiles and built into roofing, whereas solar panels are mounted on to roofs.
The in roof tile panels can be applied to even a period domestic property without detracting from its look. When applied on a new build project you are already on your way to paying for your own electricity as the cost of normal tiles is immediately saved! For commercial properties the facade application is an ingenious stunning state of the art look with ultimate practicability.
