TECHNOLOGY / RENEWABLE GENERATION

Solar PV in context.

Solar PV is one part of a connected energy strategy. Explore how generation can work alongside storage, hot water, heating and a property's everyday patterns.

A useful way in

Start with what the building needs to do.

Solar PV is one part of a connected energy strategy. Explore how generation can work alongside storage, hot water, heating and a property's everyday patterns. The right route will depend on the property, the project, the system design and the people who need to use it. Use this page as the start of a conversation, not as a definitive engineering recommendation.

Where this route may fit

Start with the building and the brief.

01

New roofs and new-build planning

Use this as a prompt for the project conversation.

02

Existing properties with suitable generation space

Use this as a prompt for the project conversation.

03

Projects considering self-consumption

Use this as a prompt for the project conversation.

What to explore

The questions behind the equipment.

01

What generation space and orientation are available?

Bring this question into the Energy Centre or a structured project conversation.

02

When will the property use energy?

Bring this question into the Energy Centre or a structured project conversation.

03

Would storage or hot-water diversion change the system conversation?

Bring this question into the Energy Centre or a structured project conversation.

Take it further

Bring the technology into a real project conversation.

The useful next step is to explore the application, ask the technical question and involve the right people.
