There’s a lot that goes into choosing the right solar inverter for your solar power system, but luckily, we can help you narrow down the field. Keep reading for tips on how to distinguish between different solar inverters so you can make the best choice when you receive a quotation from an installer! STEP 1
Twitter Thread by Lungile Mashele. I know tensions are high but before you spend hundreds of thousands on subpar solar equipment please do the following: 1. Make sure your installer is accredited, they should be on the @SAPVIA website or registered with the municipality — I have a thesis to write… (@lungile_mashele) September 19, 2022
If you’re investing in solar panels, you want to pick a product that is built to last for 30+ years. You want reliable panels that you don’t have to worry about or replace with warranties just in case anything happens. You want efficient panels that will churn out as much electricity as possible. Throughout your
Polycrystalline solar cells are blended from multiple silicon sources and are slightly less efficient. Monocrystalline solar cells are more efficient because they are cut from a single source of silicon. Thin-film technology costs less than mono or poly panels, but is also less efficient. It is mainly used in large-scale commercial applications. Additionally, PERC Cells
Your energy usage in kilowatt-hours (kWh) dictates the size of your system. Panels have a broad range of wattages (270W-495W is common as of late 2020), and other factors like local sun exposure, mount orientation and the presence of a battery bank also play a part. We sometimes get asked: “How many solar panels do
Solar photovoltaic systems, often called solar PV for short, are made up of a number of components, the biggest and most important being the solar panels, solar inverters, mounting platforms and cabling infrastructure. Combined, these components harness radiant light from the sun, convert it into electricity and transmit it into homes and businesses to power
