What Do You Need a Solar System For?
Common Misconception
Being off-grid completely using a solar energy system is a common misconception. Everyone believes they can go off-grid but the fact the matter is that you will never be able to generate enough power through the number of panels you are able to fit on a standard roof.
The size and orientation of the space available will determine your power generating capabilities.
Taking Charge Of Your Own Power Available Naturally
It is very evident that having access to power is a basic necessity and yet it is perceived as a luxury. Solar energy is an excellent alternative to conventional electricity as it produces no emissions and requires little maintenance. With solar, you’ll be able to manage power cuts because you’ll always have access to clean, reliable and affordable power.
Environmentally Friendly And Sustainable Energy
The sun is the most environmentally-friendly and sustainable source of energy available to us all. Solar is the most practical and affordable way to produce power for commercial and residential properties.
Reduced Energy Costs
Solar energy systems can be used to supply power to homes, business premises or farms. The cost of running a solar power system is considerably less than that of the national grid and takes advantage of natural resources to reduce costs further by producing electricity from sunlight rather than fossil fuels.
Commercial Solar Systems
By investing in sustainable solar solutions, your business can significantly reduce its carbon footprint. Making positive changes for the planet will be measurable and real and you can enjoy a dramatic increase in both profitability and branding for your business.
As an added benefit, your commitment to sustainability will give you an edge in the competitive marketplace.
Residential Solar Systems
Renewable energy technologies are increasingly being integrated into homes as a way to obtain financial and environmental benefits. South Africa’s energy infrastructure is even more of a concern.
There is a strong desire among many homeowners to be free of dependence on an unreliable energy supplier and have the option to switch to a more secure power source. Solar energy fills this demand.
Whether your needs are focused on residential solar supply, or you require commercial or agricultural solutions, we can assist.
Types Of Solar Panels
Monocrystalline Solar Panels
- Purer cells as they are made from one piece of silicon which makes them more expensive than poly panels of the same wattage.
- Better performance in high heat and lower light environments.
- More efficient as they capture more light.
- Cut from square silicon wafers with corners shaved off make the distinct cell shape.
- Uniform black look.
- Lifespan 25+ years.
- Wattage: 10 watts – 525 watts
- Efficiency in the range of 18% – 20% which means out of 100% sunlight falling on the solar panel 18% of it is converted in electricity and rest is wasted.
Polycrystalline Solar Panels
- Cells are created by blending together multiple pieces of silicon.
- Slightly less efficient than mono panels due to the imperfections in the surface of the solar cells.
- Manufacturing process less wasteful as hardly any raw material is thrown out during manufacturing.
- Lower pricing point due to cheaper manufacturing costs.
- Uneven blue colour.
- Lifespan 25+ years.
- Wattage: 10 watts – 525 watts
- Efficiency in the range of 16% – 18% which means out of 100% sunlight falling on the solar panel 18% of it is converted in electricity and rest is wasted.
What Is Kilowatt Hour (KWh) Or Unit Of Electricity?
Units / kilowatt hour is the energy consumption of a device.
1 kWh of electricity = 1 unit of electricity
- 1 Kilowatt (KW) = 1000 Watt (W)
- 1 Megawatt (MW) = 1000 Kilowatt (KW)
For example a 50 watt electric fan running for 50 hours will consume 50 watts x 50 hours = 2500 watt hours = 2.5 kilowatt hours of electricity = 2.5 units of electricity
Solar Panels and Systems for a Diverse Market
Grid-Tied System
A Grid-tied solar power system is synchronized with the main electric grid and if legislation permits, can feed excess power into the utility grid through special meters.
Off-Grid System
A solar power system provides electricity off-grid, typically in remote areas where it is impractical or cost-prohibitive to connect to the main grid. Battery banks are used to power a house after the solar system has charged them and backup power may be provided by a generator.
The sizing or specifications of a solar panel system for use off-grid are based on the usage of power on a daily basis and how much power is required at peak times. In most cases, your utility bill can be used to calculate your daily watt-hour usage; however, energy metering data loggers can provide more accurate usage patterns.
Hybrid System
The hybrid solar system gives you the best of both worlds: grid-connected convenience, plus the capacity to earn Feed-In Tariff credits (if applicable) – and battery backup to ensure your power is always available.
Trusted Sourcing and Import agent for Solar Accessories. We stock a wide range of quality products at affordable prices for every budget.
Solar Inverters and Backup Systems
Solar Inverter Solutions
We source and import a wide range of proven solar power inverters for residential, commercial, and agricultural applications. From standard inverters to advanced solar power management systems with remote access, solar power inverters come in many sizes and versions.
Therefore, an expert in solar energy can optimize your system to generate more power and energy so you’re never left in the dark.
Solar Backup and UPS
Unlike a grid-connected system, off-grid systems require batteries. Off-grid solar systems will meet the electrical energy needs and requirements of the installed location when designed properly to generate enough energy all year long.
In the event of a power outage or a drastic drop in voltage, the uninterruptible power supply (UPS), or battery backup, ensures the continued operation of your electronic equipment. With a UPS, power supplies and equipment connected to them can be safely turned off without interruption.
