What are STC and PTC?

STC and PTC are both power ratings, where STC stands for 'standard test conditions' and PTC stands for 'PVUSA test conditions'. As the names suggest, they both refer to the performance of the panel under certain test conditions, where the power rating is tested. The power rating gives the user an idea of how much electricity the panel is capable of producing, and is measured in kilowatts.

What are the Advantages?

Installing Solar Panels

Installing solar panels has given many homes and businesses the opportunity to generate free solar electricity substantially reducing their electricity bills and earning them cash from Feed-in Tariffs. The average cost of installing solar panels in the UK will depend on the size of solar panel system that you are intending to have fitted and then individual supplier/installer doing the work for you. One must also consider the cash income benefits of fitting each size of solar panel system and balance this against the price.

PV Solar Panels

PV Solar panels or photovoltaic modules use the photovoltaic effect to capture sunlight and use it to generate electricity. Solar panels have become a popular way to cut electricity bills by producing free electricity and also to earn cash from Feed in Tariffs for renewable energy. Dorset is located on the south coast of England and it has several PV solar panel suppliers able to affordably install quality and efficient solar panels. The cost of solar panels in Dorset will vary according to the supplier used and the power output of the solar panels chosen.

How do Solar Panels Work?

Kyocera the Company

Kyocera has been excelling in the development of highly specialized electronics and ceramics for electronic circuits since their beginning in 1959. They now manufacture everything from printers, photocopiers to wind turbines and solar panels. Kyocera began solar research in 1975 and began solar panel production in 1978. Kyocera now produce polycrystalline solar panels with industry leading efficiency levels with efficiency of up to 16%. Kyocera solar panel prices in the UK vary widely between solar panel suppliers and the power rating of the solar panels.
