Photo Voltaic Power Systems

Photo voltaic power systems generate electrical power from sunlight. If mains power is available, most systems connect to the grid so that excess electricity can be supplied to the network for credit, and the grid can supply the difference between household demand and power fro the photovoltaic system.

We advise on sizing and locating photovoltaic systems and provide contacts of  local installers.

A very good free simulation web tool is currently available here.
