photovoltaic

PV systems are a popular choice for generating electricity in off-grid systems, as they are a clean, renewable source of energy that can be used to power homes, businesses, and other facilities. They are also becoming increasingly common in grid-connected systems, where they can be used to supplement traditional power sources and help reduce reliance on fossil fuels.

Advantages of Photovoltaic systems

PV systems have a number of advantages, including that they are relatively simple and easy to install, require little maintenance, and have a long lifespan. They are also becoming more affordable as the technology improves and the cost of manufacturing solar cells decreases. 

Limitations of PV systems

However, they do have some limitations, such as the fact that they only generate electricity when the sun is shining and may not be suitable for areas with high cloud cover or other weather conditions that can reduce the amount of sunlight they receive.

PV at Beyond Buckthorns

At Beyond Buckthorns we installed a PV systems some time ago. It has been proven a good choice and we would again install a system the same size.
