What are solar panels?
There are two different types of solar Panels: solar thermal and solar PV.
Solar thermal systems are for heating hot water only, and you require a hot water tank to store this.
Meanwhile, solar PV is a technology that converts sunlight into DC electricity. When connected through an inverter, solar energy is converted into AC that can be used in the home to reduce energy usage.
When paired with solar batteries, our solar panel and battery storage systems can reduce your home’s energy consumption from the national grid by up to 70%!
How does a solar panel system work for the home?
Solar panels take the sun’s solar energy and convert it to DC electricity. We then take this energy and convert it to AC electricity through an inverter, which can be utilised in our homes and businesses.
We can combine solar installation with a solar battery and set the system up so that it effectively monitors the consumption of the property. The battery will charge when there is more solar power than the property consumes and discharge when the demand from the property increases.
A second function of a battery would be to charge the grid using cheap utility rates at nighttime when the demand on the grid is less. This is particularly useful in the winter when less solar energy is available.
