solar photovoltaics
How do solar panels (PV) cells work?
Solar panel electricity systems, also known as solar photovoltaics (PV), capture the sun’s energy using photovoltaic cells. These cells don’t need direct sunlight to work – they can still generate some electricity on a cloudy day. The cells convert the sunlight into electricity, which can be used to run appliances and lighting.
PV cells are made from layers of semi-conducting material, usually silicon. When light shines on the cell it creates an electric field across the layers. The stronger the sunshine, the more electricity is produced. Groups of cells are mounted together in panels or modules that can either be mounted on your roof or on the ground.
The power of a PV cell is measured in kilowatts peak (kWp). That’s the rate at which it generates energy at peak performance in full direct sunlight during the summer. PV cells come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Most PV systems are made up of panels that fit on top of an existing roof, but you can also fit solar tiles.
Benefits of solar electricity

COMMERCIAL PV
Understanding Solar Photovoltaic for your business
A Solar PV System on commercial buildings are a very effective way ,of reducing your electricity costs whilst benefiting from an income from the Feed in Tariff
As energy costs continue to rise, with above inflation prices it’s more important than ever that commercial business evaluate ways to reduce their overheads.
If you have a Farm, factory, office or shop then we can provide effective business cost reduction strategies as well as harness the free Electricity generated by a Solar PV System.
Thanks to the Feed-in-Tariff scheme from the Government, companies could generating additional income, as well as making savings on their current electricity bills.
Here at Smokeless Energy we have designed and installed commercial Solar Pv systems, on Agricultural premises, commercial units and landlords properties in the South West.
