Power is very important for everyday activity. And as expected, users need continuous access to electricity. However, with the rising utility costs and environmental concerns, it is no surprise that more home and business owners are turning to solar electricity.

Whether as a customer or a merchant, planning for a solar energy system is a process that includes examining existing electricity use, looking at local codes and requirements, deciding if you want to operate the system on or off of the electric grid, and understanding the technology options required.
As it is, the preferred solar electricity system is arguably the hybrid solar system. It is also the common choice for many South Africans looking to use solar electricity for their homes and businesses.

Just like the off-grid solar system, the hybrid system captures solar energy to power the house and charge the battery backup in case of a power outage. What stands out about the hybrid solar system is that whenever the battery runs, you are automatically connected to the grid. In addition, the hybrid is way cheaper than the off-grid solar system which as the name implies, is not connected to the grid.

What makes the process of accessing electricity better is being able to monitor your activities, see the performance of your solar systems, get help-desk support, etc. This has driven the innovation of platforms to enable better user experience.

The WiSolar hybrid solar electricity app platform was created to make it easier for users to make transactions and perform necessary actions relevant to their solar electricity utilities.

The app provides easy access and enables prompt delivery. The features of the app allow customers, merchants, and developers to effectively perform various functions.

This comes in as an added value as Wisolar has been known for lowering electricity costs over the years while providing savings-based options on residential PPA and offering a lease to customers with at least twelve months of billing data.

Different Hybrid Inverters Cater To Different Size Systems!

Many people are switching over to solar electricity to power their homes these days. To make the best decisions regarding solar electricity usage, one must fully understand the consequences and considerations surrounding its use. Read the below article to increase your knowledge of solar electricity.

There are a couple of different photo-voltaic panels to choose from. Less expensive poly-crystalline panels are not as efficient as the costlier mono-crystalline panels. You should purchase the best possible product your budget can allow when it comes to solar electricity systems.

The efficiency of your solar panels depends on their density. While you may pay more money for a high-density panel, know that this type typically produces significantly more energy. Check to decide the one that fits your home and your needs before your purchase.

In order to maximize the benefits of solar panels, you should select those that do not completely rely on the sun shining at all times. For example, some types of panels absorb and store sunlight for use as needed during the day or night. This is very useful if you use power in the evenings.

Also, the hybrid inverters we use for our Medium package is different to that used by a Large or Deluxe package which is expected to load your geyser and stove.

Regardless of what size solar system you want, it is possible to find a high-quality, affordable one by doing your research and checking your options.

The latest technology is the most efficient. It may be cheaper upfront to buy older panels, but it will be more costly in the long run.

Ensure your solar panels face in the direction to get the maximum exposure. You get the energy from the sun, so it’s important for the panels to be located in an area where they can get all the solar energy possible. When you don’t know what you’re doing, hire an expert to help.

When determining the actual output of your system, always remember to consider additional factors. The panels come with intended outputs, but these are given for ideal scenarios with direct sunlight at all times. The actual output will be reduced by shade from trees, overcast skies, and other environmental factors.

Many people have been intrigued by solar power. However, there are many people who still have a lot to learn regarding solar electricity.

Solar Power Restoration After Low Battery Cut Off

In an off-grid scenario, if your solar electricity installation was done correctly in South Africa, your power should come back on automatically by 9:30hrs the following morning on a good day when it goes off at night due to low storage.

In South Africa 7-9hrs sun hours is expected depending on the season. Interestingly in South Africa, solar electricity seems to perform more optimally in the winter season contrary to popular belief. The reasons for this is:

1. More sunshine hours
2. Less cloudy days
3. Milder temperatures (solar PV does not like heat)

SOLAR ENERGY; THE FUTURE OF POWER

Solar energy could be regarded as the best form of energy yet. A 2017 report from the International Energy Agency shows that solar has become the world’s fastest-growing source of power.

Why is that? First, it is renewable.

Secondly, it is clean.

Thirdly, it is available for everyone at a magnitude that is larger than the world’s current and anticipated requirements.

Fourthly, it is affordable.

And finally, it ensures reliability and independence.
