Solar Electricity in the UK
A typical 2kWp Solar (PV) electricity system placed in a south facing unshaded array will generate between 1500kWh - 1800kWh per year in the UK. This equates to approximatly 50% of the electricity needs of an average four person household.
A cost effective 2kWp system will need approximatley 20m2 of suitable mounting space.
Excess electricity can either be stored in battery banks or sold to the national grid for others to use.
A 2kWp Solar PV electricity system will save around 750kg of CO2 emmissions a year.
Solar Electricity doesn't have to mean Solar Panels; Solar Electricity can be generated by Solar Tiles, Solar Slates and Solar cladding.
Installations can be mounted on roofs both pitched and flat, on the ground, on poles that track the arc of the sun (for maximum gain), even on garages, balconies and sheds.
