Applegarth Engineering is a fully accredited installer of solar panels, under the Microgeneration Certification Scheme. We install both roof mounted and ground mounted solar panels in Chester, for domestic and commercial clients. Solar panels convert the suns energy into electricity. This electricity can then be used by homeowners and businesses to reduce the amount of energy they use from the national grid, therefore reducing their energy bills.
How Do Solar Panels Work?
Solar panels are constructed from lots of solar cells. These solar cells are made from layers of semi-conducting material, usually silicon. The solar panel creates electricity when photons from the sunlight react with electrons in the semi-conducting material. The stronger the sunlight the more electricity is produced.
The Benefits Of Installing Solar Panels
Installing solar panels at your home or business will:
- Reduce carbon emissions – Solar panels generate clean renewable energy and give off no carbon dioxide.
- Reduce energy bills – Solar panels help to reduce your energy bills as you require less electricity from the national grid.
- Low maintenance – Solar panels require little maintenance. Once they are installed you can just leave them to generate electricity.
- Work all year – Once of the main benefits of solar panels is they work all year round. This is as they use sunlight and not heat, meaning they even work on cloudy days.
