What Is Solar Energy?
Enjoy the power of the sun, and uninterrupted electricity
Solar Energy
Solar has become a more popular way to fight against Eskom’s load shedding and increased prices. The initial installation cost can be high depending on the system you install, but the long-term benefits of Solar will be worth it.
Solar power starts the sun solar energy panels or PV panels are utilized to convert light from nature, which is composed of elements of energy called photons in energy that can be utilized to power electric power loads.
Solar energy panels can be utilized in a wide range of applications including remote energy systems for cabins, remote sensing, telecommunications equipment, and course for the production of energy by commercial and residential solar energy systems.
Solar Is Cost Effective
Long-Term free energy from the sun and no load shedding
Install Modular Systems
With modular systems, you can start small and upgrade to go off-grid
No Monthly Bills
Once you have installed your solar system your monthly bills will reduce and you save
How does it work?
Solar power works by converting light from the sun into electricity. This electricity can then be used in your home or exported to the grid when it’s not needed. This is done by installing solar panels on your roof which generate DC (Direct Current) electricity. This is then fed into a solar inverter which converts the DC electricity from your solar panels into AC (Alternating Current) electricity.
But what about when the sun does not shine or during cloudy time
The solar panel is great, but it only works when the sunlight is out. Well until now. Solar energy batteries are changing the complete game by making a way to utilize solar electricity when the sunlight is not shining or during cloudy times. They essentially take the energy generated by a solar inverter and store it for later use.
It works in much the similar way the power batteries in your television remote work, but because the sort of power is a bit different it is taken until now to work out whole the knives. It is also taken a while to make a battery that is huge enough to power the average house but is available at a cost which is would not break the wallet.
The source is proud to have helped over 100k households decrease their carbon footprint by switching to solar panels. Helping them take benefit of the new tech to generate power when they are at work during the time, and powering up their homes at dark times.
A few have been capable to generate enough stored power to export back to the grid and received credit on their energy bill. The solar inverter can convert the AC current to DC current to store it.
Companies have chosen this process despite the inefficiency of investing the energy multiple times as it makes them a bit more compatible with virtually any inverter and can even be utilized without any solar energy panels.
