Solar energy is one of the most popular forms of renewable energy providing a clean source of energy and best of all – it’s free. And on those sunny days, the electricity is pumped back into the grid and you are paid for the energy your Solar PV panels generate.

Sunny boy solar-powerOur Solar Panel systems are delivering a strong return on investment on homes and offices across Shropshire providing free electricity and lower carbon footprint for families and business owners as well as generating cash by selling the electricity back to the grid via the Feed in Tariffs

You don’t necessarily need a south facing roof for your Solar PV panels to generate energy and income – they can happily generate electricity in light cloud too. Our Solar PV energy survey will provide you with an idea of how much electricity and income your solar panels may generate.

Your Solar PV panel converts sunlight into direct current (DC) electricity. This is then converted into alternating current (AC) by the use of a solar inverter.

So if you’re looking for Solar panel companies in Shropshire, come and talk to Severn Valley Renewables today.
