Four Things to Look for when Choosing and Installing Solar Power Energy for Your Home

You have just taken the first step to a
more efficient, greener and healthier you!

 The choice to install solar power energy for your
home is a wise one


 To be satisfied with the end result: the ease with
which the system works

 Instructions on how to make adjustments

 The reduction of your carbon footprint

A short description here will help you to decide
which solar power electricity provider to use.


Four items to consider are outlined here.


 The quality of the solar power panels selected
will make a difference in the way the panels
absorb the light. The basics of how the panels
work is simple, yet choosing a producer and
distributor that can meet your needs is
important.


Two types of silicon
 One with a positive charge and
 One with a negative charge
are placed together with glass covering so that light can
strike the junction of these two pieces. When the photons of
the sun hit the panels, voltage, or solar electricity is created
in the form of DC power


An inverter is also installed with the
panels to convert that power into AC
power which is more commonly used
in the home


Efficiency is respected in our daily lives with the
work we do, so it should also be expected from
your solar panels. To receive excellent solar power
generation, the efficiency of the power cells and the
temperature coefficient should be questioned and
considered of your solar power panel installer.


The panels will be exposed to wind, rain, and of course the intense
power and heat of the sun. A 10 to 15 year warrantee, with the
panels expected to perform for at least 25 years, should be
expected when you install a solar power panels.


Panels made from multi-crystalline cells are
typically less expensive than those made
with single-crystal, yet are less efficient in
converting to electricity.


Before we move on to the power inverter for solar panels
installed in the home, we will address heating your water
by solar power.


 With the flat panel solar hot water system, the
panels will be placed on the roof while the tank that
holds the hot water can be placed on the ground or
the roof. The tank has a small electric pump that
circulates the water through the hot water panels
to heat it and then stores it in the tank.


The evacuator tube system is similar in
that a pump passes the water through the
tubes to heat it, but the advantage of the
tubes is that the water in the tubes has
more exposure to the sun.


 Both of these systems are beneficial because
they create hot water from the sun, although
on days which are overcast they will not work.

 Most hot water solar systems need to be
connected to the electricity grid or a back up
battery pack to assure that there will always
be hot water for a family.


When converting the sun’s DC power to useable
AC power, some energy is lost. This is why it is
critical to purchase a solar power energy inverter
that will function at the highest efficiency and will
last for a long time.


The normal voltage output for solar
power is 12, 24, or 48 volts, and
converting it to useable power is the
responsibility of the inverter. This is
why the quality of the inverter is
critical to the success and usability of
your solar power electricity system.


When your solar system is connected to a
provider’s electricity grid, the inverter will monitor
usage, and provide communication to you the
buyer and the provider via a real-time
microcontroller.

 As with solar panels, inverters continue to see
advancements and new developments for higher
standards for greater efficiency ratings.


 Once you have purchased solar power panels
from an expert, it’s time to bring on the true
professionals in installing them. This process is
complex because the installer is working with
live DC power and connecting it to the inverter
for AC power.


This accreditation and licensing of the installer allows the
homeowner to claim solar power energy rebates from
the Queensland government. The reassurance of having
a skilled installer will also take away the worry of your
home or others nearby being damaged.


 The choice to install solar power electricity in your home
may be a big one to make, so take your time in shopping
for the best provider. Make sure the company will consult
with you before, during and after the installation.


Every day that you save money by using the
solar power can be accounted for, and then the
additional solar electricity that you feed into the
grid will be compensated as well.
