What is a photovoltaic system?

Photovoltaic systems (PV systems) are a renewable energy technology which transforms the energy from the sun into electricity using photovoltaics. These photovoltaics, also known as solar pv panels, provide a reliable green energy solution.

What is a solar photovoltaic array?

A solar photovoltaic array consists of a number of solar panels that are electrically connected. The solar PV array generates DC electricity from sunlight.

How does a photovoltaic system work?

Photovoltaic systems use photovoltaic cells to collect solar energy from the sunlight, and converts it into direct current (DC) electricity. The reflection of the sunlight will create an electric field across photovoltaic systems, causing electricity to flow.

Is a solar PV system a sustainable and low-maintenance option?

A solar PV system is a sustainable, low-maintenance option for anyone who wants to contribute to a greener environment, as the system does not cause any pollution or emissions and has numerous advantages. Read more on this topic in our ' solar energy advantages and disadvantages ' guide.

Can solar panels be installed on rooftops in the UK?

Example of Solar Panel Installations on Rooftops in the UK. Solar power is a clean, renewable energy source. So, think of solar power as using the sun’s energy to create electricity without the downsides, like pollution or greenhouse gases.
