Does Great Britain Enjoy Enough Sunny Days To Make Solar Energy Panels Seem Worth The Solar Energy Prices That They Cost?

We might think that the UK is not that sunny, but it depends on where you live; North Scotland might be wintry more than it is sunny, and the south coast of England might be the reverse. As a matter of fact the UK gets approximately 60% of the sun that the equator gets. When it comes to using Solar Energy Panels, these can in fact supply electricity in daylight on a cloudy day, although naturally, bright sunlight will supply more electricity.

So largely, the response to the question is “yes”, though there are more considerations than how much sunlight there is. The orientation of the house that has the Solar Energy Panels fitted is vital, for the Solar Energy Panels must be sited onto a roof on a south facing side, or within 900 of south. Also the designated roof should not be overlooked by buildings or trees that would block light or the Solar Energy Panels might well never work at their full creating level. In these conditions, the Solar Energy Prices, which work out at approximately £12,000 for a typical family home Solar Energy Panels set up, would not have been spent prudently. More to the point, the Solar Energy Panels business would have performed a poor job in not pre warning the home user in the first place if they had significant problems with the location, and would have charged the Solar Energy Prices in an dishonest manner.

With the quantity of daylight and sunlight we get, Solar Energy Panels surely make sense as a environmentally supportive energy solution, not only to help the environment but also to make savings for the home user. Yes, the Solar Energy Prices of approximately £12,000 will have to be paid, but once the Solar Energy Panels are fitted they will be creating electricity in no time and it is estimated that this typical Solar Energy Panels set up can supply approximately 40% of the householders electricity needs. If the home user is on the national grid then they can transfer surplus electricity back to the grid and be credited for it, as well as being credited for what they supply in the first place. An estimate of a 10 to 12 years payback time for the Solar Energy Prices is common.
