At Home Solar System
Have you been looking into solar PV installation for your home? An at home solar panels solution is exactly what you need.
Do you wish to know more about the grants and incentives available for installing solar panel systems? Whatever your requirements might be, you have certainly come to the right place, as we at Solar Thermal Repairs are the premier team for solar PV installation.
With energy prices going through the roof (pun intended!) over the past year or so, it’s no surprise more and more people are looking for ways to cut down on their spending and doing their bit for the environment.
A Solar PV system provide an excellent way of doing just that by generating your own clean power at home which saves you money every time there is sunlight available – all without sacrificing any style points or reliability!
The SEG initiative also means we can export unused renewable resources back into our electricity grid when they’re not being used so as not only reduce reliance upon foreign oil sources but also earn some extra cash while doing so too!
It can be hard to know where to start when it comes to solar energy.
Making the switch to solar energy can seem daunting, but with our help it doesn’t have to be.
We offer a wide range of solar pv battery storage solutions that are perfect for any home or business. From small-scale residential installations to large-scale commercial projects, we have the perfect solution for you. Plus, our team of experts is always here to help you make the switch to solar and answer any questions you may have.

What Are Solar Photovoltaic Systems?
Solar PV systems, otherwise known as solar photovoltaic systems, are a specific type of renewable energy technology. These transform energy from the sun into electricity for your property using photovoltaics. Photovoltaics are commonly known as solar panels, and these provide a reliable green energy solution.
Solar PV systems utilise photovoltaic cells on the solar panels, which collect solar energy from the sun. This solar energy is converted into direct current (DC) electricity and transported into an inverter. This will, in turn, convert the DC power into alternating current (AC), which is the type of electricity used for appliances in your home.

Solar PV System Installation
Before beginning solar PV installation, we will need to survey your home. This is so we can determine the type of solar PV system you require, as each system needs to be tailored to the property it will be installed on.
Once we have got the survey and planning permission out of the way, we can set a date to install your bespoke solar PV system. There are several steps to installing a solar PV system, starting with attaching the roof anchors.
These roof anchors are to hold the frame for the solar panels, and we tailor the type of roof anchor to your roof – it is determined by the type of roof tile fitted. First, the roof anchors are fitted to the rafters. We then attach the frame (solar panel rails) to the anchors, which will run vertically and horizontally across the roof.
Once the frame has been attached, we then install the solar panels onto the frame. The panels will clamp onto the frame loosely, and once they are all in place and positioned at the optimal angle, the panels will be tightened.
Next, we need to wire the solar panels to the inverter, which will convert the solar energy. This inverter will need to be connected to your electrical circuit, so your property can utilise the converted AC electricity.
Solar Panels Grants & Funding in the UK (2022)
We know that the investment for solar panel installation can be hefty, which puts many homeowners off investing in the first place. However, there are some notable incentives for solar panels in the UK, including the Smart Export Guarantee, which started in January 2020, and the Energy Company Obligation, which is available from April 2022 – 2026.
The UK Government has allocated £4 billion (£1 billion across four years) to improve UK homes’ energy ratings and reduce carbon emissions. And, thanks to the flexible eligibility (LA Flex) of ECO4 compared to ECO3, more people will have the chance to qualify for this grant.
The Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) came into effect in January 2020 – this is currently the only type of solar panel funding available in the UK. This enables small-scale low-carbon electricity generators to receive a payment for any surplus energy they export back to the grid. While this isn’t a direct government grant, licensed suppliers must now offer an export tariff to their customers.
Additionally, the government has tried to make the initial cost of solar PV installation more affordable by introducing a period of zero VAT on energy-saving products.

A solar inverter is an electronic device that converts direct current (DC) to alternating current (AC). It is used in photovoltaic systems to convert the DC output of a PV panel into usable AC power for a home or business.
A solar inverter is the most important component of a grid-tied PV system. It allows you to use your solar panels to generate electricity even when the sun isn't shining. When the sun does come out, your PV system will generate more power than your home or business needs, and the excess will flow back out onto the utility grid or into a solar battery system.
A solar PV battery is a device that stores energy in the form of electrical current generated by photovoltaic cells.
This stored energy can then be used to power electrical devices or appliances, even when the sun isn't shining.
Solar PV batteries come in all shapes and sizes, and can be used for a variety of purposes including home backup power, electric vehicle charging, and off-grid living.
