Solar PV Panels
The most popular solar option for UK homes — generate free electricity from daylight with panels that last 25 years or more, with potential grant funding through ECO4 and other schemes.
What Are Solar PV Panels?
Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels convert daylight into electricity that powers your home. They work by using semiconductor cells — typically silicon — to generate a direct current (DC) when exposed to light. An inverter then converts this into alternating current (AC) for use in your household appliances.
Solar PV is the most widely installed renewable energy technology in the UK, with over 1.3 million homes already benefiting. A typical 4kW system generates around 3,400 kWh of electricity per year — enough to cover a significant portion of the average household's annual consumption. Through government grant schemes such as ECO4, many eligible households can have panels installed at no upfront cost.
