Solar Panels
Powered by the sun
In keeping with the forward-thinking design of The Bungalows, photovoltaic (solar) panels are included on the roof of every home.
Solar panels absorb daylight and convert it into electricity for use throughout your home, helping you make use of renewable energy as part of everyday living.
How does it work?
The solar PV panels on your roof capture energy from daylight and convert it into electricity. An inverter then converts the electricity into a form that can be safely used within your home.
When your home needs more electricity than the panels are generating, the additional energy is automatically supplied by your electricity provider. When your panels produce more electricity than your home needs, the excess can be exported to the National Grid for others to use.
Insulation
Heat is lost through the floor, walls and roof, and particularly doors and windows. Without careful design, thermal bridging lets heat escape easily, and wastes energy in heat generation.
Windows
Modern A-rated double-glazing is used, generally with solar/thermal glass, gas-filled cavities and warm-edge insulated spacer bars. This reduces heat loss and maximises solar gain. The frames are compartmented to reduce heat loss, and weather-seals provide full protection from the elements.
Smart Meter
The basics matter too. Each home will have a simple energy-saving meter installed as standard — allowing you to see actual electricity consumption in real-time, and make adjustments as needed. This often results in 10-20% self-imposed reductions in energy usage, which keeps those bills down too.
