Does The UK Benefit From Enough Sunlight To Make Solar Energy Panels Worth The Solar Energy Prices That They Cost?

We could think that Great Britain is not that sunny, but it depends on where you live; North Scotland could be snowy and cold more than it is sunny, and the south of England could be the reverse. In actuality the UK picks up about 60% of the sun that the equator picks up. When it comes to using Solar Energy Panels, these can in fact generate electricity in daylight on a cloudy day, although obviously, bright sunlight will generate more electricity.

So largely, the reply to the question is “yes”, but there are more considerations than how much sunlight there is. The location of the home that has the Solar Energy Panels commissioned is crucial, for the Solar Energy Panels must be sited onto a roof with a south facing view, or within 900 of south. Also the chosen roof should not be in shadow by buildings or trees that would block daylight or the Solar Energy Panels could well never work at their full creating power. In these situations, the Solar Energy Prices, which work out at about £12,000 for a standard family home Solar Energy Panels package, would not have been spent wisely. More to the point, the Solar Energy Panels enterprise would have done a poor job in not advising the domestic customer in the first place if they had significant problems with the location, and would have charged the Solar Energy Prices in an unethical manner.

With the quantity of daylight and sunlight we get, Solar Energy Panels surely make sense as a renewable energy energy solution, not only to help the environment but also to be economical for the domestic customer. Yes, the Solar Energy Prices of about £12,000 will have to be paid, but once the Solar Energy Panels are commissioned they will be creating electricity straight away and it is estimated that this standard Solar Energy Panels package can generate about 40% of the domestic customers electricity needs. If the domestic customer is on the national grid then they can export unused electricity back to the grid and be rewarded for it, as well as being rewarded for what they generate in the first place. An estimate of a 10 to 12 years payback time for the Solar Energy Prices is typical.
