Solar PV
Solar Photovoltaic systems utilise solar irradiation to produce electricity. A typical system consists of several components, solar panels, mounting system, inverter and generating meters.
Solar PV panels can be manufactured from a variety of competing formats. Peninsula Renewable Energy on supply and install Monocrystalline panels. Monocrystalline Silicon is made from very pure Monocrystalline Silicon. Monocrystalline Silicon has a single and continuous crystal lattice structure with practically zero defects or impurities. One of the many reasons Monocrystalline Silicon is superior to other types of silicon cells are their high module convertion efficiencies - which means modular efficiencies of 15-17%. The Caymax Grade A silicon panels supplied by us have one of the market leading module efficiencies in the UK market at the present time of 15.5% (for our typical 195kWp rated panel)
Because the manufacturing process required to produce Monocrystalline Silicon is more involved and detailed than other types, this results in slightly higher costs for Monocrystalline Silicon than other silicon technologies. However, we at Peninsula take the view that if you are going to invest in this technology it is only worth investing in the very best equipment available to maximise your return on this investment.
