Facing the Challenge

Notice to all PV-UK website users (21/03/06):

After over ten years of supporting the development of the PV industry in the UK the British Photovoltaic Association has decided to merge its membership with the Renewable Energy Association (REA) from the 1st April 2006.  This will provide added strength to our work in developing and applying PV in the UK.  The REA already has over 400 members representing all aspects of renewable energy including a solar interest group.

This web site will be redeveloped, supported by the REA and the NEF, and will continue to be an important source of information and link to suppliers, installers and others in the PV industry.

-------

Welcome to "PV-Web", the online information service of PV-UK - the British Photovoltaic Association.

This site is intended to help you keep up to date with the latest developments in photovoltaics - otherwise known as "PV" or "solar electric systems" - and the many applications in the UK for this exciting technology.

Inside, you will find:

• A complete guide on PV technology and how to go about getting a PV system
  

• A fully searchable database of our members to help you locate reputable suppliers and installers of PV systems and components.
  

• A reference area which answers many of the common queries about buying, connecting and using PV in the UK environment.

We also provide regular news updates, such as reports on new projects, details of new products and latest information on connecting PV systems to the grid, as well as notices of forthcoming events that will be of interest to those wishing to learn more about the technology.
