Welcome to Norfolk Solar, the premier provider of solar PV, solar thermal and electric vehicle charging points in Norfolk. Solar PV is the greenest way to provide heating and lighting to your home. Solar panels use photovoltaic cells to convert the sun's rays into a direct current of electricity which can be used to power anything requiring electricity in your home.
You are then paid for anything you do not use as it is fed back to the grid. You may have become a little more conscious about turning on your heating or hot water as you become more conscious of the impact our fosil fuel use has on the environment, not to mention the constantly rising cost of fuel. Whilst being more economic with your heating use is one thing, improving your conventional heating system will go much further in saving you money and the planet.
Solar thermal uses the free and renewable energy of the sun to heat your water. A solar thermal system cannot fully replace your boiler or immersion heater, but it drastically reduces their use - by at least 65% according to some manufacturers.

The organisation was founded in 2001 by Lee Rose. Lee is a domestic solar hot water and PV specialist and regularly teaches on solar training courses at LILI, BroadSol and the Centre for Alternative Technology.
He has also worked closely with Logic Certification to develop their UK Government recognised training courses for plumbing and heating engineers.
He is a published author and is highly active in the development and improvement of the industry.
Norfolk Solar is unlike most other renewable energy organisations.

Photovoltaic (PV) systems can be installed on roofs facing south-east to south-west, or an area of ground for a ground mounted array.
PV installations are quick to install and, once in situ, fully automatic.
There is no noise or emissions from a PV array and usually no planning permission is required.
Norfolk Solar do offer a planning service should it be necessary.
Most systems are grid connected so that excess energy can be exported.
An increasing number of people are considering energy storage and the ability to operate separately from the grid.

The diagram shows the components that comprise a typical domestic system.
The main components are the module array, an inverter and the balance of system components such as a generation meter, isolators (switches) and cables.
Panel Array - Most solar panels are made from silicon - the same semiconductor material that computer chips are made from.
Sand is distilled to purify it and with the addition of compounds that conduct electricity, the cells generate electricity when exposed to light.
Although output is highest in clear sun light, they generate even on overcast and cloudy days.

The Smart Export Guarantee (SEG) is the way the government have adopted to pay people who generate renewable energy, for the electricity they export back to the National Grid.
However, the government recognises that people who generate electricity which is exported back to the National Grid should be paid for that electricity as they have produced it.
To ensure this still happens, The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) has is introduced the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG).
