Does Great Britain Have Ample Bright Days To Make Solar Energy Panels Warrant The Solar Energy Prices That They Cost?

We could recall that Great Britain is not that sunny, but it depends on where you live; North Scotland could be snowy and cold more than it is warm, and the south coast of England could be the reverse. In actuality the UK receives in the order of 60% of the sun that the equator receives. When it comes to using Solar Energy Panels, these can in fact supply electricity in daylight on a cloudy day, although in reality, bright sunlight will supply more electricity.

So generally, the reply to the question is “yes”, although there are more constraints than how much sunlight there is. The siting of the building that has the Solar Energy Panels located is crucial, for the Solar Energy Panels must be fitted onto a roof with a south facing side, or within 900 of south. Also the chosen roof should not be in shadow by buildings or trees that can possibly block daylight or the Solar Energy Panels could well never deliver their full generating power. In these positions, the Solar Energy Prices, which work out at in the order of £12,000 for a usual family home Solar Energy Panels system, would not have been spent wisely. More to the point, the Solar Energy Panels outfit would have carried out a poor job in not alerting the home owner in the first place if they had significant snags with the location, and would have charged the Solar Energy Prices in an unscrupulous manner.

With the hours of daylight and sunlight we get, Solar Energy Panels surely make sense as a eco friendly energy solution, not only to assist the environment but also to save money for the home owner. Yes, the Solar Energy Prices of in the order of £12,000 will have to be sorted out, but once the Solar Energy Panels are located they will be generating electricity in no time and it is estimated that this usual Solar Energy Panels system can supply in the order of 40% of the home owners electricity needs. If the home owner is on the national grid then they can export left over electricity back to the grid and be rewarded for it, as well as being rewarded for what they supply in the first place. An estimate of a 10 to 12 years payback time for the Solar Energy Prices is common.
