Solar PV panels generate electricity from the radiations of the sun which powers your home or commercial building.

A Solar PV system is made up of flat plate panels that have very thin layers of silicon. When the sun’s radiation hits the PV panels, they convert this solar energy into DC electricity. An invertor then converts this into AC electricity which is suitable for home appliances and export to the national grid.

UK Solar PV Feed in Tariff (FIT).

The government's Feed in Tariff scheme allows property owners to receive payment for every kilowatt of electricity they generate through Solar PV systems, provided they have been installed by an MCS accredited installer such as isoenergy. This includes the electricity generated to run appliances as well as any surplus exported to the grid.

The FIT is responsible for the incredible growth of Solar PV nationwide and many installers are jumping on the bandwagon to capitalise on this. One example of this is the "rent a roof" scheme, which involves an installer fitting the solar PV system for free but collecting 100% of the FIT for 25 years and eventually receiving a profit.

Isoenergy does not intend to manipulate the FIT, or to betray our ethos of high quality installs. All of our customers can rest assured that the system on their roof is entirely theirs, as is every penny of the Feed in Tariff.

Solar Photovoltaic systems capture the energy of the sun using PV cells to convert sunlight into electricity.

1. The PV panels produce direct current (DC) electricity which is fed directly from the panels to an Inverter.
2. The Inverter converts the DC current to Alternating Current (AC). This AC current can then be used by appliances and lighting for all the property's needs. 
3. An isolator is fitted to shut off the supply to the house and isolate the system.
4. The AC flows from the isolator into the fuse box or consumer unit.
5. When you are using electricity (watching TV for example) it will flow directly into appliances which can be topped up by additional electricity from the national grid. If you are not using the electricity, then it can flow into the national grid, so someone else can use it.
6. Thanks to the Feed in Tariff (FIT) you will be paid for every unit you generate.

The strength of a PV cell is measured in kilowatt peak (kwp) which is the overall energy that collector generates in sunlight.

At Isoenergy we are not contracted to any manufacturers, and therefore can advise clients on new technologies and what system would be the best for them.

Isoenergy are MCS accredited Solar Thermal and Solar Photovoltaic installation specialists.

We work with schools, councils, housing associations, developers, architects as well as domestic consumers. We always provide a bespoke solution and acheive the Solar PV Feed In Tariff.
