what happens

How do solar panels work?

Solar panels use photovoltaic (PV) technology to convert sunlight directly into electricity. The DC electricity produced is converted into usable AC electricity through an inverter, powering your home or business immediately.

Any excess power you generate can either be exported back to the grid - earning payments via the Smart Export Guarantee, or stored in battery systems, allowing you to maximise energy use even after sunset.

energy production

How much energy will solar panels in Huntingdon produce?

Whilst you're unlikely to get a tan throughout most of the year in Huntingdon, it is a great location for producing solar energy. Residential rooftop systems of around 4 kW in size typically produce between 3,500–4,000 kWh per year, enough to significantly offset an average household’s annual electricity consumption.

Commercial premises can install larger arrays customised to their energy needs, further maximising savings and sustainability.

On a larger scale, Huntingdonshire hosts multiple solar farms that demonstrate the area’s strong potential for solar power generation. This includes the Kimbolton Solar Farm and solar farms at Abbots Ripton.

For an accurate estimate tailored to your property or business in Huntingdon, our local team at RDS Solar provides free site assessments, including precise energy production forecasts based on your individual roof orientation, shading, and system size.

“The whole team at RDS were excellent before, during and after our solar installation.”

The whole team at RDS were excellent before, during and after our solar installation. They were very professional throughout and great at talking through options.

The actual installation was quick and seemless, plus they were great at clearing up afterwards. Highly recommended!
