Do Solar Panels Work in the Winter?

Thursday, December 8th, 2011

Solar panels are proven to be a great way of making homes energy efficient, for the simple reason that the panels harness the power of the sun to produce renewable energy which can then go on to be used within the home. Although this is a very appealing and financially rewarding prospect, many homeowners are disinclined to invest in solar panels Hereford due to the cloudy topic of whether or not solar panels work in winter. This is a question that we at AES Solar Systems frequently get asked, and it is one that we will endeavour to answer below.

The mistake that many consumers make is to believe that solar panels run off the sun’s heat, but this is not true in the slightest. In fact, a solar panel works by soaking up the UV rays that the sun emits, which are then transferred into usable energy.

Therefore the answer to the above question is yes, they do work throughout winter. However, the amount of energy which is produced on the whole is hindered for a number of reasons. The first, is that the days are shorter in winter and therefore there is less sunlight for the solar panels to absorb. In addition, if the snow settles on the tops of your solar panels this will stop all energy production, but as soon as the snow is cleared, the solar power Hereford begins instantaneously.

Overall, solar panels are very beneficial and can work all year round regardless of whether it’s ice-cold or not. Hopefully this has dispersed some of the myths surrounding solar panels, and will encourage you to invest in solar panels.

If you are interested in having solar panels Hereford installed, all of our trained roofers Evesham have the skill, equipment and the expertise to supply, install and maintain your solar panels.

Renewable Energy Options for Businesses in Worcester

Thursday, November 10th, 2011

Businesses are always looking to save money, and many firms are also becoming more aware of the impact their operation is having on the environment. Renewable energy Worcester is the best way to reduce the energy costs of running your commercial property, whilst simultaneously helping your property to become more self-sufficient. Make AES Solar Systems your first choice for high-quality solar panels which can help your company to become much greener.

Investing in solar energy can save your company money in the future. Additional financial incentives from the government can also help you to enjoy maximum savings. Your energy provider will pay you for the electricity you are generating, as well as rewarding you for any extra energy you return to the national grid. Customers who invest in this technology can expect to enjoy a 7-10% return year on year, so there really is no better option when you are looking to save money.

There are a number of choices available to you when you are looking to update your property with photovoltaic, or PV solar Worcester panels. Solar panels are made up of a grid of either monocrystalline or polycrystalline silicone cells. Monocrystalline is generally more efficient, but for UK customers the difference in energy produced by each is negligible.

These silicone cells react to sunlight to provide you with free energy, and depending on the option you choose you can expect varying levels of energy output. Standard panels provide 185kWp (kilowatt peak), which is more than sufficient for the majority of properties. If you have a flat roof which will not support a lot of weight, then our roofer Evesham can fit amorphous silicone panels which are lighter and more flexible. Whatever your budget or requirements, there will be a renewable energy Worcester option to match.

AES Solar Systems can take care of every aspect of design and installation, including checking if you will require planning permission and setting up your feed in tariffs. To make the change to renewable energy Worcester and see a big reduction in your company’s energy costs, get in touch with our team today.

Using Renewable Energy in Bristol can Save You Money

Monday, January 10th, 2011

In the current economic climate and with Christmas only seeming to have been a few days ago, whilst Valentine’s Day and the summer holiday’s appear to be just around the corner, many of us will be looking at saving money and tightening our belts. Some people may opt to cut down on life’s little luxuries such as the weekly trips to the cinema or the lad’s weekend trips to away games. But a more sustainable way that as homeowners we can tighten our belts, save money and become more eco-friendly without cutting off society, is by using renewable energy Bristol.

Renewable energy is energy which is generated by natural resources including the sun, wind and water. Here at Gas World, for the last few years we’ve been providing a variety of appliances which take the renewable energy Bristol to provide you with usable energy, whilst also saving you money in both the short and long term.

Probably the most common type of renewable energy appliance, solar panels work alongside your existing conventional water heater (although they aren’t suitable with some combi boilers) to provide you hot water when required.

A solar panel works by collecting the sun’s radiation, and to have any noticeable effect on the reduction of C02 and money spent on other energy sources, you’ll require at least three panels on a South facing roof.

Less well known compared to solar panels, air source heat pumps can heat either the air of the property or the hot water, making them slightly more beneficial than a solar panel.

Working alongside your energy supply, an air source heat pump takes in the heat from outside the building, to heat the building/water on the inside – and if used effectively, this form of renewable energy Bristol can save the average household £760 a year.  If you’re unsure whether solar panels or a air source heat pump would be beneficial to your property, why not give our friendly team a call.
