FAQ
How does a Wind Turbine work?
Wind turbines operate on a simple principle. The energy in the wind turns two or three propeller-like blades around a rotor. The rotor is connected to the main shaft, which spins a generator to create electricity.
Wind turbines are mounted on a tower to capture the most energy. At 100 feet (30 meters) or more above ground, they can take advantage of faster and less turbulent wind.
Wind turbines can be used to produce electricity for a single home or building, or they can be connected to an electricity grid (shown here) for more widespread electricity distribution.

How does Solar systems work?
There are two main types of solar panel, one type produces electricity and the other type heats water. Both types of solar panels are increasingly popular for domestic, industrial and commercial applications.
Solar photovoltaic systems or solar PV use solar panels to convert the sun's energy into electricity, which can be anything from a few kWs to enough to power homes and small/medium businesses. Systems can be either off grid or grid-connected.
Solar water systems or thermal colectors use solar 'thermal' panels or collectors'. This type of solar panel uses direct & indirect energy from the sun to heat water in a very simple and efficient process.
The solar panels themselves are readily available, easy to fit and can be roof mounted or free standing. It all depends on your requirements and your location.
If you are looking for general information regarding the planning of an off-grid solar or wind energy system, or you would like any project specific advice or prices, our experienced system design team are able to design & cost a bespoke power system to your exact requirements.
