Guys and girls,

Let's chat Solar.

(this is not intended to discredit anyone)

Just some information to keep in mind.

1. Solar or any other alternative energy supply system might appear expensive, but in the long term it pays for it self.

2. Your neighbor's system is not necessarily your system, meaning your energy requirements differ from others, so make sure that what you invest in will serve your needs.

3. Cheap is dangerous, not only in failing, but can cause damage to your property and possibly person as well.

4. Make sure that what you install is able to br scaled up when you require it in future.

5. There are different systems, basically identfied as "Off the Grid", which means you are completely self reliant. "Hybrid" which is you depending some percentage on the grid and "Backup" which shall support ypu when the grid goes down, for example the periods of loadshedding (to the critics, this is layman terms). Decide what serves your needs, the cost can be very different.

6. Remember that your system needs to be installed by an experienced individual and you will require a CoC afterwards from an authorized individual cleared and in good standing to issur such.

7. Establish what your warranty is on all items supplied and how and where you can redeem it when things go wrong, as well as terms and conditions attached.

8. Ensure to always maintain your system according to specifications, especially solar panels. A dirty solar panel or damaged one will affect your whole set up and can cause a failure in generating energy.

SOLAR 101 - HYBRID SOLAR SYSTEM

While choosing a solar system for home, institute, business or industry, people often choose either an on grid solar system or an off grid solar system. But now one more option is available in the market and that is “Hybrid Solar System”. This system is a combination of on grid solar system and off grid solar system. It has battery backup in it to store power and it also have the ability to feed surplus electricity into main grid.

A hybrid solar system will workday and night which means you always have electricity at your home. Hybrid system is a combination of solar energy storage with grid connection. This system provides the flexibility of being able to store the power into batteries that your solar system generated during the daytime instead of feeding it back into electricity grid. The same energy can be used in the evening or night instead of buying from government grid at a higher price.

If system is producing more power than is being consumed and your batteries are fully charged, the surplus will be fed to the main electrical grid via solar net metering. At the time of electricity billing, the government or power provider company will adjust the exported units in your electricity bill.

SOLAR 101 - OFF-GRID SOLAR SYSTEM

The off-grid solar system is a battery based, independent solar system that does not need a utility grid to illuminate your places. It is a complete solar setup with solar panels, solar battery, and solar inverter, and is ideal to lighten a home even in a far-off location. This solar system is more prominent as it comes with a power backup.

Like every other solar system, an off-grid solar system uses a solar panel to absorb sunlight and convert it into electricity. In the daytime solar will run the connected load and balance energy will be stored in the solar battery. So, in the daytime, the solar system runs home appliances generating electricity using sunlight and stores the extra energy into the battery bank. And at night when there is no sunlight, the appliances draw energy from the battery to keep running. Hence, the system works day and night.

Before you dive into the solar world, you must collect every single piece of information about the type of solar system to be installed. In this article, you will get answers to all your questions related to an off-grid solar system.

SOLAR 101 - ON GRID (GRID TIED) SOLAR SYSTEM

An on-grid solar system also known as grid tie or connected solar system is the most cost-effective type for solar system. It is a complete solar setup that comes with highly efficient solar panels, on-grid solar inverter and other standard solar accessories. This system will not only provide you continuous electricity but will also reduce your heavy electricity bills.
In this solar system, solar panels will generate the DC electricity by absorbing sunlight and the solar inverter will convert the same DC electricity into AC electricity which can then be used directly at home or business.

If the system will produce more power than is being consumed, the surplus is fed into the main electrical grid via solar net metering. At the time of electricity billing government or power provider company will adjust the exported units in your electricity bill.

There are various capacities of on-grid solar system available in the market. Therefore, you must read the complete below given information so that you can choose the best capacity that meets your power requirements.
