Pros and Cons of Solar PV systems

Photovoltaic research and development has been upped in recent years as the technology is considered a leading renewable consumer energy source.

In fact, reports claim photovoltaic production has doubled every two years since 2002 making it the world’s fastest-growing solar power and energy technology.

Pros

• Panels designed for European countries generate power even on cloudy days, they simply need light to produce electricity.
• Clean energy means you reduce your carbon emissions by up to 1 tonne per annum.
• Producing your own power protects against rising energy prices.
  

Cons

• A large area of unshaded south, south-west or south-east facing roof is required to maximise payback. Smaller systems can be installed but payback will be longer.
• Panels degrade over time by approximately 20% over 25 years, this however is taken into account in most reputable suppliers calculations.
• It may be beneficial to replace the inverter after 10 years to optimise power generation, although this is not essential.
