Solar panels explained
Solar panels sit on your roof and absorb the sunlight to generate electricity. This electricity can power your home right away. Use it to charge your phone or run a nice hot bath! You can save the electricity generated for later. If your panels make more energy than you use, you also can sell it back to the grid and earn money.
What do solar panels look like and where will they fit in your house?
Solar panels are flat and their colour is either dark blue or black. They’re made from silicon, glass and aluminium. The panels are usually one and a half metres long and one metre wide. This means a two-bedroom terraced house might have around ten panels on the roof.
Solar panels are installed on your roof because it provides the best access to direct sunlight, maximising electricity production. Wires will neatly connect the panels to your home’s electricity.
