Benefits of a PV system
There are different kinds of benefits to consider when looking at a PV installation. The two main benefits of PV installation are economic and environmental.
The economic benefits of a PV system are actually considered to be an investment, where a PV system requires an initial cost to install and requires very little maitenance but will continue to generate electricity, which will be purchased from the client by Distribution Network Operator (DNO).
Reduction in electricity bills:
- sunlight is free, so once the initial installation is paid for, elecricity cost will be greatly reduced. A typical home PV system can produce around 40% of the electricity a houcehold uses in a year.
Sell electricity back to the grid:
- if the system is producing more electricity than is need, or when it can't be used, someone else can use it - and the system could make a bit of money.
Store electricity for cloudy day:
- if the home isn't connected to the national grid, the system can store excess electricity in batteries to use when you need it.
Reduction in carbon footprint:
- solar electricity is green, renevable energy and doesn't release any harmful carbon dioxide or other pollutants. A typical home PV system could save around 1200kg carbon dioxide per year - that's around 30 tonnes over its lifetime.
- The burning of coal creates solid waste, called ash, which is composed primarily of metal oxides and alkali.
