Solar PV (Solar Photovoltaic)

Solar Photovoltaic, or Solar PV for short, is a technology in which daylight is converted into electrical power. Solar PV takes advantage of the energy from the sun to create electricity, that will operate electrical appliances and lighting.

Installing Solar PV Panels

For the installation of Solar PV panels, a clear, uninterrupted and un-shaded section of roof is required with South or near South orientation. The roof needs to be large enough to accommodate the solar PV modules, structurally sound and built using materials that are compatible with a fixing system that is readily available.

Feed-In Tariffs

Electricity generated from the Solar PV panels can be exported to the utility company through the national grid. Under the Feed-In Tariff scheme qualifying individuals or groups who install solar PV can benefit from regular payments.

The Feed-In Tariff can be claimed for a period of 25 years, and the amount is dependant on the type and size of the Solar PV installed.
