• PV System

Generate electricity from daylight

A solar photovoltaic system converts daylight into electricity that can be used within the property. Solar panels continue to generate in daylight conditions even when there is no direct sunshine.

Generation depends on factors including array size, orientation, roof pitch, shading, geographical location and prevailing weather conditions.

The final number and position of the panels are subject to technical survey, available roof space, roof condition, shading, electrical suitability and any applicable planning or grid-connection requirements.

A Fox inverter converts the electricity generated by the solar panels into electricity suitable for use within the property. The appropriate model will be selected during the system design. Compatible monitoring is available through FoxCloud.
 

Solar-panel mounting and bird protection

The package includes a specialist roof-mounting system selected for the property and bird mesh fitted as standard around the completed solar-panel array. The exact mounting equipment and panel layout will be confirmed following the technical survey.

Benefits

Generate electricity from daylight. Solar PV converts daylight into electricity for use within the property.
 

Use electricity generated at home. Electricity generated by the panels can reduce the amount purchased from the grid.
 

Monitor generation. FoxCloud monitoring provides access to compatible system-generation and performance information.
 

Reduce operational carbon emissions. Generating electricity from solar energy can reduce reliance on grid electricity and its associated operational emissions

The contract will only be concluded after the survey has been completed and the member confirms they wish to proceed by signing the contract with Fresh Electrical. The contract for supply and installation of the solar panels is with Fresh Electrical, not Costco. Costco will take the payment from the member and the full funds will be held in a ‘ring-fenced’ account until a job completion form is signed by the member. Costco will only receive a commission paid by Fresh Electrical Solar.
