Upgrade your home appliances with renewable solar power.

Before you make any decisions on what to get to upgrade the appliances in your home, you need to get as much information as possible on what options are available to you. You may have noticed that there are a lot of places that offer energy efficient appliances. The reason is because technology has evolved to the point where you can get more out of your appliances without spending as much money.

LVP's Selection of Solar PV Panels

LVP Renewables offers a great selection of solar panels for use in Irish homes and businesses and has options that are not only affordable but will help you to save a lot of money over the years to come. In addition to the already very reasonable prices of our solar panels, we can help you with applications for SEAI grants. With a number of options for photovoltaic solar power in Ireland, it is one of the most cost-effective solutions available today.

Photovoltaic solar panels generate DC electricity on the roof of homes and use inverter technology to change to AC electricity for use all around the house. They are quite affordable and are very commonly used in new building installations, complying with ‘Part L’ of the building regulations. Not using all the excess energy generated during the day will go back to the grid, or you can use electric battery or water heating storage to store any extra energy generated for use in non-day light hours.

Solar cells in a photovoltaic solar panel use the energy of the photon of light to stimulate electrons in the solar cells’ semi-conducting material. This is an excellent way to harness the energy of the sun and convert it into free energy that is beneficial to every household and commercial building in Ireland.
