Solar panels capture clean, green energy
Modern solar panels are highly efficient. With storage, they can supply up to 90% of your power needs, giving your home or business a real chance of energy independence.
How do Solar Panels Work?
Solar panels, also known as photovoltaic (PV) panels, turn daylight into electricity. The name comes from photo meaning light, and voltaic meaning electricity. But how does that actually happen?
1. Capturing Daylight
Each panel is made up of layers of specially treated silicon. When sunlight hits these layers, tiny particles of light (called photons) knock electrons loose inside the silicon. This creates a flow of electricity – a process known as the photovoltaic effect.
2. From Panels to Power
The electricity generated by the panels is direct current (DC). Homes use alternating current (AC), so this needs to be converted. That’s where an inverter comes in – it changes the DC into usable AC electricity to power your appliances.
3. Smarter Systems
Modern solar systems are smarter than ever. Some include optimisers or micro-inverters that allow each panel to perform at its best, even if part of your roof is shaded. These technologies make the most of every bit of daylight.
4. What Happens to the Electricity?
You can use the solar electricity as it’s generated. If you’re producing more than you need, the surplus can be:
-
Sent back to the grid (you may get paid for this),with Solar Grid Trading
-
Stored in a solar battery, ready to use when the sun isn’t shining – like in the evening or on cloudy days.
At Naked Solar, we design systems that help many of our customers cover up to 90% of their energy needs from solar and battery storage.
5. Designed For Your Home
Every home is different. That’s why we don’t just install off-the-shelf systems. We look at your roof shape, angle, shading and how your household uses electricity through 3D Solar PV modelling. Then we design a home solar solution that’s tailored to you – with clear, independent advice at every step.

Why Go Green With Naked Solar?
Smarten Up With Solar + Storage
Pair your solar panels with battery storage from day one. Store up your excess solar energy during the day and use it later when the sun’s gone down. It’s a smarter way to reduce your reliance on the grid – and keep your bills down too.
Cut Carbon, Not Comfort
Generating your own solar energy means fewer fossil fuels and a smaller carbon footprint. It’s clean, quiet, renewable power, all from your roof. Go green without changing how you live.
Power Your Own Future
When you go solar, you take control. You’ll use your own energy first, cut your costs, and if you generate more than you need, you can export it to the grid and get paid for it. That’s real energy independence.
Transparent Pricing, Expert & Real Advice
With Naked Solar, you’ll get clear pricing, expert guidance, and a system designed just for your home – not a one-size-fits-all bundle. We’re independent, so we’ll only recommend what’s right for you. No sales pressure, just honest help.
