Solar PV Panels
Swale Heating offers Dimplex solar PV panels (Solar photovoltaic panels) allowing you to produce electricity using free energy from the sun.
These solar panels produce their energy from daylight, rather than solar radiation, meaning energy is produced even on cloudy days. This technology is suitable for a variety of buildings, including homes, businesses, schools and hospitals. Solar PV does not have any moving parts and therefore is one of the easiest and reliable ways to future proof against the imminent rising energy costs we all face. Not forgetting that you will drastically reduce your CO2 emissions and play a part in saving the planet by adopting a sustainable energy source.
Swale Heating are fully Microgeneration Certification Scheme (MCS) accredited and where technologies are covered by MCS, all equipment and installers need to comply with the scheme in order to qualify for payments as per the Code for Sustainable Homes Technical Guide (Oct 2010).
Solar PV Panels have a number of benefits including:
- Using a natural and renewable resource to produce zero carbon energy
- Reduces dependency on large–scale commercial electricity providers
- Reduces energy bills, minimising the impact of rising energy costs
- High reliability, with a typical lifetime of over 30 years
- Minimal maintenance (though the inverter may require replacement approximately every 10 years)
- Making money – the Feed in Tariff guarantees a minimum payment for every kW of energy generated for 25 years – see table below
- Save approximately 650kg of CO2 per year (for a typical 2kWp system)
- Adding value to your property and improving your green credentials
