Solar panels (PV) (Solar panels for generating electricity)

Solar panels generate power from the suns rays. In today’s environment, it is common knowledge that renewable energy is the future of generating power for this planet. 
When it comes to you and your home, it is important to understand that solar panels are one of the most cost effective ways you can increase the BER rating of your home. This will greatly improve the resale potential and value of your home.
 Reducing costs is always a factor in making sound investment decisions for the future and there are many examples of businesses we have worked with who have done just that. Since the introduction of the carbon emission taxes in 2009, it makes more and more sense to invest in your home or business to safeguard them from the instability and spiraling cost of fuel and heating prices. Solar panels have a quick payback period and the decision to switch has never been easier.

 Standard Photovoltaic Solar Panel (PV)

These solar panels have many installation options, including on-roof, in-roof, flat-roof installation, ground mounted, bris soleil and facade. These solar panels can be used in any building to replace standard glass. They are dual purpose as they provide insulation and shelter while generating electricity.
They are part of the family of sustainable energy technologies described as “micro-generation” whereby the electricity is produced on site using a renewable source of energy. If you’ve ever seen a solar calculator, you’ve seen PV in action. PV isdistinct from other kinds of solar energy in that it harnesses the sun’s light rather than its heat. It provides an on-site renewable power generation solution for almost any application.

Speciality Photovoltaic Solar Panel (PV)

PV glass to glass laminates replaces conventional glazing materials whilst simultaneously harnessing energy from daylight to generate electricity. PV glass to glass modules are ideal for a variety of applications including; Curtain Walling/facades, Windows,  Bris soleil, Roof glazing . The panels will add to the visual appeal of the building. You have total design flexibility as regards size, transparency and colour. Panels can be single glazed or double glazed and can incorporate low emissivity glass to enhance insulation.The PV cells themselves are standard. But we can either increase or decrease the space between the cells within the panel, in order to increase or decrease the transparency and output of that panel. We can customise the panels to meet your needs. The sky’s the limit really!

Solar Thermal Solar panels (Solar panels for hot water)

Our flat plate collectors are know for their efficiency, durability and ease of handling. The laser welded absorber provides high aesthetic result and long life operation. The whole collector is manufactured to ISO 9001 standards which ensures the top quality we offer. The collector has been tested in many laboratories around the world and is certified for its efficiency and durability.
The variety of installation methods ensures that almost any type of can have a solar thermal system installed:
In roof system (Integrated roof light installation), whereby panels would be mounted once felt and battens are completed, before the roof is slated/tiled, making them more flush with the roof. This system is most commonly used in new builds.
On roof system (Roof mounted installation). This system is mounted on an existing roof, on both new and existing buildings.

Solar Thermal Solar panels (Evacuated tube Collectors)

Solar evacuated tube collectors ensure a long service life by application of high-quality, corrosion proof materials. Furthermore, the panels guarantee high energy yields with their small collector gross areas. Due to the circular absorber area, each individual tube always has the optimal adjustment towards the sun; this in turn ensures that both direct and diffuse solar radiation is optimally collected by the circular absorber.
The evacuated tube consists of 3 main components: evacuated tubes, CPC mirrors and collecting box with heat transfer unit
The Evacuated Tubes The evacuated tubes are composed of two glass tubes which in each case are half spherically closed on one side and fused together on the other side. The gap between the tubes is evacuated. In addition, the internal glass tube has a highly selective layer on its external surface which acts as an absorber. It is an aluminum nitrite sputter layer which is characterised by very low emission and very good absorption.Our evacuated tube solar panels are ideal for supplying domestic hot water as well as heating swimming pools.

SMA Grid Converter

The inverter converts the electricity produced (direct current) by the solar panels into the type of electricity supplied by the grid (alternative current) and used by most domestic appliances. It also ensures that your system operates safely and provides useful data like power produced, etc. 3. Your solar PV system is supplying electricity to your home through the existing circuit board where it is connected with its own fuse.
Inverters are approved for grid-connection the Republic of Ireland under CER/06/190 and EN50438 and the UK under G83/1 and G59/1d
