How Does Solar Power Work?
Sunshine Becomes Electricity
Solar technologies convert sunlight into electrical energy through photovoltaic (PV) panels.
How Does Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Work?
Each solar PV panel is made up of a number of connected solar cells. Solar panels absorb the light when the sun is shining and the silicon and conductors in the panel convert this light into direct current (DC) electricity. This electricity runs into an inverter, which converts the DC electricity into alternating current (AC) electricity which is usable in your household.
Can Solar Power Electricity Be Stored?
The power generated by a PV solar panel system needs to be used immediately.
There are a range of battery storage options available that allow the storage of excess solar energy for use later.
How Big Are Solar Panels?
Solar Panels range from 310 to 415 Watts.
How Many Solar Panels Do I Need for Each kWh?
kWh is Watt x time, e.g. x 1 400W panel would generate 400Wh over one hour of direct sunlight.
Do I Need a DC Converter For All Solar Panels Set Up?
Yes, unless it is only running 12-volt fittings e.g. caravan lights.
Will My Electricity Bill Lower With Solar Energy?
If solar energy generation is being used first in your household, your electricity bill will be reduced, as you will only draw additional energy from the grid when required.
Solar provides energy savings for households that use a significant portion of their solar generation.
Your cost savings will depend on a variety of elements; how much your electricity costs, how much of your solar generation you use and how much power your system generates.
Solar System Options
Grid Tied System
A residential solar system that is grid-tied offers numerous benefits, including savings on electricity bills and the use of a sustainable energy source. By harnessing the power of the sun, this system reduces power costs significantly for high day time power users.
Its key components, such as solar panels, inverters and utility meters, work seamlessly together to convert sunlight into usable electricity, allowing homeowners to take full advantage of renewable energy and contribute to a greener environment while enjoying long-term financial savings.
Homeowners may also have the opportunity to sell surplus residential energy to the grid, reducing costs and promoting a sustainable energy system.
Grid Tied System With Battery
A grid-tied system with a battery combines the advantages of using solar power during the day and storing excess energy for use during outages or after sundown. This setup is particularly beneficial in areas prone to power outages, especially when critical appliances need to operate continuously.
The system ensures uninterrupted power supply, reduces dependence on the grid, and harnesses clean energy, making it an environmentally friendly choice.
Off Grid System
Off-grid solar systems are used in situations where there is no access to the traditional electrical grid or when it is not feasible or cost-effective to connect to the grid. These systems are designed to generate electricity independently, providing power in remote or rural areas.
