Take control of your home’s energy costs. An introduction to solar PV
Rising energy costs are a reality for every
household and investing in solar PV systems is
an easy way to earn money from your roof
We are committed to helping home owners add renewable energy to homes so you can take
control of your energy costs using solar PV solutions. It’s a very exciting time to be installing solar PV.
The lifetime cost per kWh of a simple solar energy solution can be as low as 6.0p per kWh if the
conditions are right. However, even at 10.0p or 13.0p per kWh on a site that is a little more
challenging, or needs a battery storage addition, it continues to make solid financial sense
compared to the costs of over 24p per kW for electricity that we are currently experiencing, which
could continue to rise.
This document is a guide to help you become more familiar with some of the science, terms and
advantages of solar PV, and show you that it is a simple, safe and unique technology for making
money from the most abundant free energy source available – the sun!
