Also referred to as photovoltaic systems, solar panels are devices designed to capture sunlight and convert it into electricity. They consist of silicon solar cells which harness the sun's energy. When the light hits these cells, it creates an electrical current by freeing electrons from the semiconductor material. This direct current (DC) is then transformed into an alternating current (AC) using an inverter which makes it compatible with household or commercial electrical systems.
Ellis Roche’s solar energy installations are an eco-friendly and renewable energy source, providing a sustainable way to generate electricity, reduce carbon emissions, and decrease reliance on standard energy sources, benefiting both the environment and consumers.

Solar panel installations in the UK offer several benefits, contributing to a more sustainable and energy-efficient future. Firstly, they help reduce carbon emissions, playing a crucial role in the campaign against climate change. They generate clean and renewable energy whilst lessening the environmental impact of electricity production.
They can also lead to substantial cost savings for homeowners and businesses. Through the government's Smart Export Guarantee, excess energy generated by solar panels can be sold back to the grid, providing certain criteria are met. This promotes financial incentives and lowers energy bills.
Additionally, solar panels require minimal maintenance and have a long lifespan, offering a reliable return on investment.
There are nine main types, with the most popular being monocrystalline and polycrystalline.
Monocrystalline solar panel installations are the most popular in the UK as they are readily available and offer the most aesthetically pleasing look, thanks to their sleek black panels. Any initial investment is well worth it as they can reduce electricity bills. They should also last well over 25 years.
Polycrystalline solar panels are less expensive but lack the overall efficiency of the monocrystalline installations. They’re also blue, so they will stand out more against your property’s roof. Although less silicon is used in the production of these panels, they are more expensive to run.
Naturally, our solar energy installations are determined by the amount of electricity used by your household or business. And the answer will also depend on which panels you decide to have fitted. Our team at Ellis Roche suggest the following guidelines:
