About Energy Savings
Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology on a small scale is familiar to most people in the UK. It is used to power calculators, road signs, toys and phone chargers. It takes light from the sun, and uses it to run the appliance. Solar PV panels for electricity generation work on the same principle, just at a larger scale.
Sunlight is all you need to get electricity from the panels. It is an unlimited resource that’s never going to stop shining (even though it doesn’t always feel like that in the UK). Although more electricity is produced on sunny days panels work well on overcast days too.
