When you install a solar energy system on your property, you save money on your electricity bills and protect yourself against rising electricity rates in the future. How much you can save depends on the type of consumer tariff you have, the type of net metering agreement you will enter with the utility and the prevailing solar net metering tariff at the point of entering into net metering agreement. However, going solar is a smart investment regardless of above factors.
Solar power, like other renewable energy resources has many environmental and health benefits. Going solar reduces greenhouse gas emissions, which contribute to climate change and also results in fewer air pollutants like sulfur dioxide and particular matter which can cause health problems which are common issues with the electricity generation using coals or oil.
Apartment the wide environmental benefits it brings, Going Solar will immensely benefit towards country’s economy by saving precious foreign exchange by reducing the import of coal or oils. Your investment in Solar really will help the country to step out of present economic crisis! With our Hybrid Solar Solutions, you can be a proud citizen enjoying through energy independence as well.
Studies have shown that homes with solar energy systems sell for more than homes without them. In most parts of the country, going solar will actually increase your property value more than a kitchen renovation.
Net Metering is the system that utilities use to credit solar energy system owners for the electricity produced by their solar panels. With net metering, you only pay for the electricity that you use beyond what your solar panels can generate. There are 3 main schemes of Net Metering available for Electricity Customers of CEB and LECO: Net Metering, Net Accounting and Net Plus.
Solar panels absorb the sun’s energy throughout the day and convert it into direct current (DC) electricity. Most homes and businesses run on alternating current (AC) electricity, so the DC electricity is then passed through an inverter to convert it to usable AC electricity. At that point, you either use the electricity in your house or send it back to the electric grid, alternatively you can charge your battery system as well if installed a hybrid inverter instead of standard on-grid inverter. This will help you to use the stored electricity when the grid supply is not available.
When you install solar panels on your property, you will still be connected to the grid. This allows you to draw from the grid when your system is not producing all of the power that you need, and send power back to the grid when you produce more than you use. It is possible to go off the grid with a solar energy system that includes battery storage along with a hybrid inverter, but it will cost more than a typical on grid solution. Energy Evolved Team Will help you in designing most economical hybrid/off grid solution.
Unless your solar energy system includes battery storage and you are fully off the grid, you will still receive a bill from your utility. However, you can dramatically reduce your bill, or even cut the amount you owe to Rs.0, with a solar panel system that matches your energy use.
If your solar panel system is connected to the grid, it will shut off in the event of a blackout. This is to prevent emergency responders and electricity utility repair-people from being injured by your panels sending power back to the grid. However, if you install a hybrid inverter, you can obtain backup power in a blackout when paired with a battery.
Solar panel systems are made of durable tempered glass and require little to no maintenance for the 25 years that they will generate power. In most cases, you don’t even need to clean your solar panels regularly if you are not in dusty or salty area. If something does happen, most equipment manufacturers include warranties, generally 12 years manufacturing warranty for PV Panels and 25 years performance warranty and 10 years for the on-grid inverters although warranty terms depend on the original equipment manufacturer.
Solar panels absorb the sun’s energy throughout Southerly-facing roofs with little to no shade and enough space to fit a solar panel system are ideal for installing solar. However, in many cases there are workarounds if your home doesn’t have the ideal solar roof. An Energy Evolved Engineer will personally carry out on-site assessment before finalizing your project installation.
The size of the grid connected solar system is mainly determined by 3 factors: The grid connection type of your property as well as the available roof space for the solar installation and your present electricity bill or the usage. For the CEB consumers with single phase electricity connection can go up to 6 kWp (DC) Solar Installation and for LECO consumers with single phase electricity connection can go up to 7 kWp (DC) . If your connection is 3 phase 32 A , then you are eligible for an installation of upto 22 kWp and with a connection of 3 phase 63 A , you will be able to install upto 42 kWp. For commercial and Industrial customers with bulk supply agreement with the utility can install upto the capacity of the dedicated transformer installed. As a rule of thumb you will need approximately 10 sqm per of roof space for the installation of 1kWp of PV Modules.
Solar energy systems can last for 25 to 35 years, and it can be costly to remove and reinstall them if you need to replace your roof. If your roof needs maintenance in the near term, you should complete it before you finish your solar installation. One of Energy Evolved Engineer will be able to tell you whether to replace/repair your roof before going solar.
In general, solar panels are very durable and capable of withstanding adverse weather conditions. The various components of your solar power system will need to be replaced at different times, but your system should continue to generate electricity for 25 to 35 years. SolarRay team will take extra care in selecting the smallest component in order to make sure uninterrupted operation of your solar system for longer time period.
