Solar energy uses technology that converts light and heat energy from the sun into electrical energy. The system has three main components.
Solar panels: The main component of a solar energy system is the solar panels. These panels convert solar energy into electrical energy through photovoltaic (PV) cells when exposed to sunlight.
Inverter: The DC (direct current) electricity produced by the solar panels is converted into AC (alternating current) electricity that can be used in your home or workplace.
Storage (optional): If you want to store energy, you can add a battery to your solar system. This allows solar energy to be used at night or on cloudy days.
Solar energy systems can reduce electricity bills and even generate income by selling excess energy. It provides energy independence and is an energy source that is resilient to power cuts. It is a clean and renewable energy source, reduces carbon emissions and does not harm the environment. Installing a solar energy system on a property can increase its value and attractiveness. Solar panels are durable and are usually guaranteed for up to 25 years.
Panels produce different amounts of energy depending on their capacity. The latest products are 450Wp, 550Wp and take up about 2 or 2.5 square metres. When calculating how much electricity it produces, you can think in terms of five times as much. For example, an average 550Wp solar panel can produce 2.5 kWh of electricity per year under the right conditions.
South-facing roofs with little or no shade and enough space to fit a solar panel system are ideal for installing solar energy. In unsuitable cases, installation can be achieved using a variety of solutions. However, before investing, professional teams should carry out a technical survey of your roof and report on its suitability.
The size of your solar energy system depends on the weather conditions where you live, how much electricity you use each month and your contract power. Contract power is calculated from your electricity bill. In order to give you an accurate quote, we need to look at your 12 month energy usage history.
The contract power is determined by the total power needed to run the electrical appliances in your home. In short, it is calculated according to the power that the home needs and can handle.
The panels will continue to produce electricity, even at low efficiency, when there is no sun during the day, but production will stop at night. If you have a system with batteries, the energy stored during the day will be used at night and you will not pay an electricity bill. In addition, with the monthly right of set-off granted by law, the day with less production and the day with more production can be set off.
No. Grid-connected systems act in accordance with the grid.
If you install solar panels on your home, you will still be connected to the grid. The main reason for this is that it allows you to draw energy from the grid when your system is not producing all the electricity you need, and send it back to the grid when you are producing more than you use. However, if you do not have access to the grid due to your location and environmental factors, it is possible to install a completely off-grid system.
It can be installed in any single-family home or workplace that is connected to the grid, has a roof that meets the necessary technical requirements and is zoned.
It can be installed if the roof of the car park is visible in the residential status.
Technically, only the installation of the system takes an average of 3 days. If you are buying a grid connected system, the necessary permits and approvals will take approximately 2-3 months.
It will continue to generate electricity, albeit at low efficiency, if there is no sunlight during the day.
Solar panels convert sunlight into electricity. So if your panels are covered in snow, they will not be able to generate electricity. Snow is usually not heavy enough to cause structural problems with your panels. Since most panels are mounted at an angle, snow accumulation will slide down over the panel, preventing accumulation. If snow does accumulate, your panels are easy to clean.
Maintenance is very low. The main maintenance is to clean the panels from time to time. Normally the panels are cleaned with pure water; ionised water. Washing with mains water is not recommended. Whether the system is working properly or not is monitored by a remote monitoring system.
In general, solar panels are very durable. They are not affected by snow, wind or hail. The various components of your solar energy system will need to be replaced at different times. However, your system will continue to generate over 80% electricity for 25 to 35 years.
Studies show that houses with solar energy systems sell for more than those without. Going solar will add more value to your home than a kitchen renovation.
