How Do Solar Panels Work?

The backbone of any solar energy setup, solar panels are the primary means of converting solar energy into a usable form. They are made up of silicon-based solar cells that absorb sunlight and release electrons, generating an electric current. The resulting electricity can be used immediately or stored in batteries to use later. No need to worry about being in grey, rainy England – our configurations ensure you can use electricity even on cloudy days!

Solar Panel Configurations

Solar Panels - String

If you have limited roof space or ground area for installing solar panels or have issues with a lot of shade in an area on your roof, you might opt for a string formation where panels are arranged linearly to maximize the use of available space.

Array formations, where panels are arranged in a grid-like pattern, can sometimes be more efficient in capturing sunlight, especially if there are no shading issues. This arrangement allows for more flexibility in positioning panels optimally to maximize sunlight exposure throughout the day.
