Solar PV

Solar PV Installation Services

Harvey Electrical Services install solar PV systems for homes, businesses and commercial properties, helping customers generate more of their own electricity and reduce dependence on the grid.

Whether you are looking to lower household energy bills, improve the efficiency of a commercial building or invest in renewable technology across a larger site, we can design and install a solar solution suited to your property, electricity usage and future plans.

Our team can take care of the electrical work required to integrate solar safely into your existing installation, with every system carefully planned, installed and tested for dependable long-term performance.

What is Solar PV?

Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology uses panels installed on roofs or other suitable areas to convert sunlight into electricity that can be used throughout your premises.

A commercial solar PV system can generate electricity during daylight hours, reducing the amount of power your business needs to purchase from the grid. Depending on the system and your energy requirements, excess electricity may also be stored using battery storage or exported back to the grid.

Modern solar panels are designed to provide reliable long-term performance, making solar PV a practical renewable energy solution for businesses looking to reduce running costs and improve energy efficiency.

Why Solar PV is Important

Reducing Energy Costs

Generating your own electricity through solar PV can reduce the amount of power you need to purchase from the grid, helping homes and businesses lower their ongoing energy costs.

Greater Energy Independence

Solar panels allow you to generate renewable electricity directly at your property, reducing reliance on energy suppliers and giving you greater control over how your electricity is produced and used.

Reducing Carbon Emissions

Using solar energy reduces dependence on electricity generated from fossil fuels, helping homeowners and businesses lower their carbon footprint and improve the sustainability of their property.

Preparing for the Future

Solar PV can form the foundation of a wider renewable energy system, working alongside battery storage and EV charging to help prepare your home or business for changing energy demands.

Professional Installation and Testing

Installing solar PV involves much more than attaching panels to a roof.

The system must be correctly connected to the property’s electrical installation, with appropriate protection, isolation and testing in place.

Our installation work can include:

Solar PV electrical installation
Inverter connections
AC and DC electrical works
Isolation equipment
Distribution board connections
Protective devices
Cable installation
System testing
Commissioning
Certification and documentation

All electrical work is completed with safety, reliability and long-term maintainability in mind.

Solar FAQs

How do solar panels work?

Solar PV panels convert daylight into electricity that can be used throughout your home or business, helping to reduce the amount of power you need from the grid.

Do solar panels work on cloudy days??

Yes. Solar panels generate electricity from daylight, so they will still produce power on cloudy days, although generation will usually be lower than in bright sunshine.

Are solar panels suitable for homes and businesses?

Yes. Solar PV systems can be installed on domestic and commercial properties, with the system size and design tailored to the property, available space and energy usage.

Do I need a south-facing roof?

Not necessarily. South-facing roofs can provide strong generation, but east- and west-facing roofs can also be suitable depending on the roof layout, shading and available space.

Can I add battery storage?

Yes. Battery storage can be installed alongside solar panels to store excess electricity for use later, helping you make more use of the energy your system generates.

Can solar panels work with an EV charger?

Yes. Solar PV can be combined with EV charging, allowing electricity generated by your property to contribute towards charging an electric vehicle.

How long does solar installation take?

Installation time depends on the size and complexity of the system. Smaller domestic systems can often be completed relatively quickly, while larger commercial installations may take longer.

Do solar panels need much maintenance?

Solar PV systems generally require relatively little maintenance. It is still important to monitor performance and arrange an inspection if you notice a significant reduction in output.

Why Choose Solar PV?

For both domestic and commercial properties, solar can provide several practical advantages:

Reduced electricity costs

Lower carbon emissions

Improved energy efficiency

Compatibility with battery storage

Support for EV charging

Lower reliance on grid electricity
