How Do Solar Panels Work?

Solar panels are a clean and renewable energy source that converts sunlight into electricity, helping homeowners reduce energy costs and carbon emissions. Each panel consists of multiple photovoltaic (PV) cells, typically made from silicon, which generate an electrical current when exposed to sunlight.

A standard solar PV system comprises multiple panels, with each producing approximately 355W of power in optimal conditions. To make this energy usable for homes, an inverter converts the generated DC electricity into AC. At National Eco, our expert solar team can guide you in selecting the best solar package tailored to your home and energy needs, with convenient video call consultations now available.

Get a Free Grant Towards Solar Installation

Government-backed grants offer homeowners the chance to secure funding worth thousands of pounds to improve their home’s energy efficiency.

Local authorities provide financial support to eligible low-income households—those with an annual income below £31,000—allowing them to install energy-saving measures such as solar PV systems, loft insulation, and underfloor insulation. These initiatives aim to lower energy bills and enhance home comfort. Contact National Eco today to check if you qualify.

What is the ECO4 scheme?

The level of support provided depends on the energy supplier and property type.

ECO4 introduces several key improvements over previous versions of the scheme:

  • Increased funding allocations to energy suppliers
