Why choose Crystal® Solar PV
Reduce your energy bills
Cover a substantial portion of your household's needs and reduce dependence on grid power.
Works in all weathers
Panels convert light into electricity on both sunny and overcast days.
Low maintenance
No moving parts — occasional cleaning and periodic inspections are all that's needed.
Charge off-peak, use at peak
With a battery, charge overnight when electricity is cheapest and run the house through the expensive evening.
How the system works together
Three parts, one installation. Together they let you use far more of the energy you generate.
- 01 · Generate
Solar panels
Panels turn daylight into DC electricity — even on overcast days.
- 02 · Convert
Hybrid inverter
Converts DC to usable AC and decides whether to power the house, charge the battery or export.
- 03 · Store
Battery storage
Stores surplus solar and cheap overnight electricity, then powers your home through the evening peak.
Solar panels and battery storage
Solar on its own: power when the sun shines
In daylight your panels make electricity and your home uses it first. When you need more than the panels are making, and after dark, the rest still comes from the grid. Anything you don't use at the time is exported.
Add a battery: keep what you don't use
With a battery, the surplus your panels make during the day is stored for later instead of being sent to the grid.
After dark: run on stored sunshine
In the evening the battery powers your home with the electricity it stored earlier, so you draw less from the grid.
Overnight: top up at the cheap rate
On a smart tariff with off-peak hours, the battery can also charge from the grid overnight, when electricity costs less, ready for the morning. Off-peak rates and hours are set by your energy supplier.
Each panel is made of a semi-conductive material such as silicon. The light shines on the panels, creating an electrical current that flows to a collection point (often on your roof). From there, the energy is converted from DC (direct current) to AC (alternative current) which can be used throughout your home.
Although solar panels of course need an initial investment, they pay for themselves in several ways. Firstly, solar panels are often seen as a selling point for a home. Increasing its value and therefore your return on investment in the long term. In addition, they contribute or completely cover your electricity bills - cumulatively paying for themselves over a number of years.
Our team of installers will test your panels to ensure they’re working correctly. In addition, you’ll have a control panel that records their performance and the power they’re supplying to your home.
Solar batteries are not included by default with our systems. However, we are happy to provide a quotation for solar batteries which can be installed at the same time.
