Solar panels are transforming how UK households power their homes.

In this guide, we explain how solar panels work, how they’re installed, and why now is the perfect time to make the switch.


⚙️ How Solar Panels Work

Turning Sunlight Into Savings

  • Solar panels use photovoltaic (PV) cells to convert sunlight into electricity.
  • Even on cloudy UK days, they generate power thanks to diffused light.
  • The electricity flows through an inverter, converting it from DC to usable AC.
  • Power your home directly, and export excess energy back to the grid via the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG).
