Solar PV SystemsSolar PV panels use silicon semi‐conductors to convert light from the sun into electricity. The energy generated is ‘free’ and renewable, and PV systems emit no carbon dioxide.

Benefitso PV is easily fitted to both new and existing buildingso Modular ground or roof mounted systems that can be specified to
almost any sizeo ‘Plugs‐in’ easily to existing electrical infrastructureo No moving parts, so basically maintenance free post‐installationo Provides a consistent annual energy supply during daylight hours (even
on cloudy days)
CO2 Reductions and Economic BenefitsThe energy produced by PV systems is totally CO2 free. The emissions (embodied CO2) associated with the production, installation and maintenance of the systems themselves are minimal and are usually recovered within 2‐5 years.
April 2010 Feed‐In Tariff
From April 2010 it’s proposed that UK will have a Feed-In Tariff, paying owners of renewable energy systems a guaranteed price for every kWh of energy generated. This will radically improve the economic payback times of solar PV systems.

PV Systems for Rural BusinessesThe introduction of FiT will transform the economic case for PV systems and make it easier for rural businesses to invest in renewable energy. As well as the obvious benefits from a guaranteed annual income, a PV system is an excellent way of showing commitment to the environment and your business’s understanding of green issues. This can be useful competitive advantage in an increasingly environmentally aware market.
Why Install a PV System?
oGuaranteed annual income
oReduced long‐term electricity costs
oReduced CO2 emissions
oMaintenance‐free technology
oEasy to specify and install
oProvides a visible commitment to the environment
oGrants and low‐cost loans are available to reduce capital costs
oEconomic benefit will increase as electricity prices rise over system life span

Planning Permission
PV systems may or may not require planning permission, depending on the area in which the site is located and the type of system installed. Roof mounted systems can often be installed without planning permission, but ground‐mounted systems can require it. In either case, Segen’s dedicated planning team will establish what’s required at an early stage and handle everything on your behalf.
DNO Permission
In order to connect a PV system to the grid, permission is required from the District Network Operator (DNO) that owns the local electrical infrastructure. Depending on the size of the system and the strength of the local supply, an upgrade might be necessary. Segen’s engineers will contact the DNO and establish what’s required at an early stage
