Solar PV installer Ayrshire

How do solar PV work?

Solar panels use a very simple concept where light energy from the sun is utilised by the solar panels, creating an electrical current. The electrical energy generated can then be used to power you home. You’ll be saving money on energy bills and reducing carbon emissions as you’ll require less energy from energy companies and the national grid.

What does a Solar PV installer do?

If you’re based in Ayrshire and considering solar PV or solar photovoltaic cells, generally referred to as solar panels. You’ll be joining the many thousands of homeowners in Scotland who have already opted for solar PVs. Statistics suggest that one in ten homes in Scotland are already reaping the many benefits of solar PV installation.

As a solar PV installer in Ayrshire, I am responsible for the planning, installation and maintenance of solar PV at your property. I can even assist you with communicating with your local DNO or designated network operator to make sure your solar PVs are connected to the national grid.  

Electrical safety is very important with systems such as solar PV. As an approved solar panel installer, one of my requirements is to ensure the electrical components of the solar panel system are safe and efficient, free of any potential fire hazards or electrocution.

Once I’ve visited your property, we can then discuss the planning stage which includes the number of solar panels you would require to support the electrical requirements of your household, where best to place the panels and also any supporting roof mounts we will require.

During actual installation, the solar panels are attached to the roof via roof anchors, a mounting frame or a combination of both supports.

Once the solar panels are secured to the roof frame, the panels are then connected to an inverter which converts the DC from the sun into an AC which is the form of power we use in residential homes.  

Having installed numerous solar PV across Ayrshire, we advise clients that preparation work such as scaffolding is required prior to installation. This way, installers can work safely at great heights.

Once installation is complete, we run a number of tests to make sure the solar panel, storage battery and inverter are all working in sync and that there are no flaws in the solar panel system.
