Solar Energy

Solar energy based on photovoltaic (PV) cells converts sunlight, the most abundant energy source on the planet, directly into electricity. The equipment required for this process has no moving parts and as a result requires minimal maintenance. In addition, the electricity is generated with no emissions and no noise.

In the UK, the recent introduction of long term pricing mechanisms for electricity generated from renewable sources has increased the attractiveness of solar PV systems. This pricing mechanism applies to all the electricity produced by a solar PV system and it is independent of the consumer type (individuals, organisations and businesses).

The electricity generated by the solar PV system can be used to reduce the current consumption or can be exported to the national grid, with the security of a government-backed scheme providing long term benefits.

IPS have an expanding portfolio of solar PV clients, and our services include the analysis and feasibility of solar PV systems for domestic properties, commercial properties and solar parks.
