FAQs

  • When sunlight hits the PV panels, the energy produced from sunlight is absorbed into the PV cells, that are held within the panel. The absorbed energy creates electrical charges that causes electricity to flow throughout your home, into your homes’ appliances and lights. The more PV panels that are on your home, the more electrical flow is produced.

  • PV panels are rectangular black panels that are size dependent – Bigger homes have larger, and often more PV panels attached. They are sat in a row and fitted to the roof of your brand new Anwyl home, as standard.

  • Your PV panels will be connected to your switchboard, so you can easily switch your PV panels on and off when needed. You will also need to switch off your Inverter Isolator, this can be done in reverse to switch this back on.

  • PV panels are growing in popularity. With technology increasing, PV solar panels have the ability to offset long term costs and increase the savings to household bills per year.

  • Very little maintenance is required for your PV panels. It is recommended that they are cleaned twice a year to minimise the interruption of the sunlight absorption, and typically have a 25-30 year lifespan, with a five-year warranty.

  • PV panels come as standard with all homes at Winnington Place Phase 2, with the option to upgrade to include more PV solar panels if you wish.
