Solar photovoltaic panels capture the sun's energy using photovoltaic cells - these are the panels that you will have seen on other people roofs. The Solar Panels - these capture the light energy from the sun and convert it to DC (Direct Current) electricity. The Inverter - this converts the DC power into AC (Alternating Current) power that can be used in the household or sold back to the national grid.
The Sun! - Obviously you need the energy from the sun to make the panels work. But it may surprise you to learn that these cells don't need direct sunlight to work - they can still generate electricity on cloudy days. Maybe even more surprisingly temperatures above room temperature can reduce the efficiency of PV Solar panels, making the UK a good location to utilise PV technology.

Services
Solar Panel Company Installing PV Systems in Scotland. At Total Power we pride ourselves on supplying our customers with Solar Panels (PV) and Electrical installations, using the best quality accredited equipment installed to the highest possible standards. Giving industry leading, customer care, sales and maintenance.
There are various ways to optimise existing Solar panel installations thus increasing your return on investment. Please remember that unless you have a Smart meter/export meter your electricity company will still pay you for exporting 50% of what you produce. By adding an Immersion controller to your system any solar electricity, you aren't using that would normally be exported to the national grid, can be rediverted to heat your hot water.
We are committed to helping our clients reduce their carbon footprint and inevitably make them more profitable and sustainable by reducing they're on going running costs. The cost of installing solar panels has dropped by 70% over the last seven years, making an installation more affordable then you may think.
By adding a battery storage solution to your solar panel system, you can utilize your existing investment by storing 'would be' exported energy to use when you need it. Hybrid storage systems work by monitoring your demand throughout the day and releasing your stored energy when your solar panels aren't producing enough to cover your load.
The Government and car industries predict that over 10 million electric cars will be sold in the next 15 years. Due to the efficiency of electric engines compared to combustion engines, even though the electricity used to charge an electric vehicle comes from a C02 emitting source (coal/gas), the net C02 production is typically half to one third of that from comparable to a combustion engine.
