Cobham

Cobham is a village within the Borough of Elmbridge in Surrey, England. It is located about 17 miles (27 km) south-west of London and ten miles (16 km) northeast of Guildford on the River Mole. Cobham covers an area of around 3.2 square miles. According to the 2011 Census, the town features a permanent population of about 9739 people. Historically, Cobham comprised two separate communities, Street Cobham and Church Cobham. The former lay along the road to London, and the building now known as the Cobham Exchange was once a coaching inn. The community of Church Cobham expanded around St. Andrew's Church, which dates back to the 12th century. Although a great deal altered and extended in the 1800s, the church preserves a Norman tower and is a Grade I listed building, which is the highest architectural category. The River Mole provides the scene for Cobham's most famous landmark, which is the red brick water mill. It was constructed in the latter part of the 1700s, and it was once part of a substantially larger complex. It stands around the site of earlier mills dating back to the Middle Ages. The mill continued to be in use until 1928, when it became uneconomical to continue operating. Since its closure, it has been used as a storehouse. The town presents a lot of opportunities for sport and leisure activities. Painshill Park is nearby and Silvermere golf course is located in Redhill Road on the north side of the A3. Cobham has 4 football clubs: Cobham F.C., Mole Valley SCR F.C., Cobham United Football Club and Cobham Town F.C. Cobham also has a cricket club, Cobham Avorians, formed in 1928. For all of your house upgrades, ensure that that you employ trustworthy experts in Cobham to make sure you get the best quality.

FAQs

How does Solar PV on my house work?

If you’re looking to install some new solar panels in your home or property, then you’d probably want to know how it works. This is one of the most frequent questions asked by homeowners when it comes to solar panels and in this article we aim to give you a good insight on the operations of solar panels. Let’s have a look!

Generally, solar panels work by absorbing the energy of the sun and then converting it into electricity. It functions by allowing photons from the rays of the sun release the electrons free from atoms within the photovoltaic or solar cells in order to produce a flow of electricity. There are several solar cells that are connected together ( usually 60 or 72 ) in each panel. Individual cells comprises both a negative layer and a positive one which combines perfectly to create an electrical field in which the energy is generated.

The boron that’s within the bottom layer generates the positive charge, while the phosphorous found in the silicon layer produces the negative charge. In order to convert the sun’s rays into the energy that’s going to be transported from the panels to the inverter, the two field will interact with one another.

In other words, solar panels work by turning photons from the sunlight into direct current which is transmitted to the inverter. Once it gets to the inverter, it’s then translated to alternating current and send this current to to your electric box which powers the entire home. If you do not wish to reduce the high bills that’s associated with renting power from the grid, the solar energy system is an efficient and affordable way to achieve this aim.

do you need planning permission for solar panels?

In a similar way to other major home improvement projects, some specific requirements must be met to allow for the installation of solar panels. The main reason why these standards and regulations were established is to minimize the risk of the solar system becoming an issue or potential hazard in the unforeseeable future. So if you’re thinking about buying and fitting new solar panels, you’ll probably want to know whether or not you’ll require to submit a planning permission application for approval before you can proceed.

Generally, solar panels are covered under what’s called “Permitted Development” which gives you the freedom to install your solar panels without having to apply for a planning permission. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. These exceptions include if your house is a listed building or if your house is located within a conservation area. In these exceptional cases, it’s possible that you’ll need to apply for a planning permission, but this will largely depend on the discretion of your Local Planning Authority. What’s more? Solar panels are usually subjected to normal building regulations which includes examining the roof to make sure that it can support the additional weight. You can call in a MCS certified installer to carry out this check for you.

In order to install your solar PV on your roof, you must follow these guidelines:

✓ Your solar panels shouldn’t go beyond the highest point of the roof (excluding chimneys).

✓ The solar panels shouldn’t project beyond 200mm off the roof’s edge.

✓ The solar panels should be removed once they’re no longer used to produce electricity

✓ The solar panels should be installed such that the area and building’s appearance change is minimized.

What are the benefits of installing solar panels?

Not only will you reduce your electricity bill by generating your own electricity with solar panels, but you can also earn money through the SEG which is offered by large energy suppliers. They’ll pay you for the electricity you export back to the grid. You’ll also reduce your carbon footprint, lessening your impact on the environment.

What are the main benefits of solar panels?

Solar panels provide an alternative to paying expensive National Grid energy rates, so primarily their first major benefit is helping to reduce bills. Solar PV panels will produce free electricity, whilst solar thermal panels generate heat for hot water and space heating. There are also payment incentives known as the Feed-in Tariff scheme (FITs) (for solar PV) and the Renewable Heat Incentive (for solar thermal) which guarantee a tax-free income for 20 years.
