What Is Solar Energy?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n
\r\n
Utilizing the sun’s beams, solar energy creates renewable or “green” energy. The most common method of utilising solar energy is through solar panels, commonly referred to as photovoltaic cells.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
These are the panels that you will see on nearby residences and commercial buildings that are made of semiconductor materials. The electrons in the atoms of the cells are disturbed as a result of the sun’s rays allowing them to move freely throughout the cell and produce energy.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Additionally, solar thermal systems can be used to heat water or other liquids, which can then be used to heat a house or other structure. They can also be used to make steam, which can be used to power a turbine and produce electricity or heat your home’s water.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
How Large a Solar PV System do you require?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The following factors should be determined when calculating the size of a solar system:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
\r\n
Estimating the amount of AC electricity needed for the building or business is crucial. The best measure of this is the highest monthly electricity bill from the previous year. The bill will include information on how much electricity was utilised during the month. By dividing the units by the total number of calendar days in the month, it is possible to determine the daily usage. If the highest usage was 450 units, the daily average requirement would be 15 units.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The second step is to decide on the goal for the Solar System. Do you want the system to be a backup during load shedding or do you wish to live completely off the grid? If you simply want the system to act as a backup during a load-shedding phase, figure out the maximum power usage during that time. This can then be used to determine the solar system’s maximum supply and storage capacity.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Determine how many solar panels you’ll need to install in order to generate the required volume of electricity is the next stage. To do this, multiply the rating of your solar panel by six. For instance, if you use 400w solar panels, each panel may provide 2400wh, or 2.4kWh, each day if you need 20kWh (400w x 12 hours of daylight \/ 2 for redundancy for overcast and wet days). 20 kWh divided by 2.4 kWh amounts to 8.3333 panels or 9 panels for redundancy.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The amount of space required to install the solar panels is equal to the number of panels required times the area that each panel occupies. 1.59m2 x 9 equals 14.31m2 if the solar panel is assumed to be around 162 x 98 centimetres in size. For homes or businesses, solar panels can often be put on the roof or in the backyard. The solar panels should ideally be faced north to maximise the amount of sunlight that hits them.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The size of the inverter should be determined based on the total current that will be used when the system is powered by solar energy. This can be done by adding the combined maximum input current of all the devices that must operate simultaneously.<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Choosing a battery that can operate for twice as long as the required amount of time that the system requires to rum on the batteries. You should choose a 10kwh battery if you utilise 5kwh during the desired time frame.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
