Overview of Solar Power Plant for Home in Detail
The advantages of solar energy are not new. We are all aware that putting solar panels in our houses serves us in a number of different ways. The most appealing advantage of implementing a solar panel is to use the sun’s heat and light energy for many uses. It helps in reducing the electricity usage and saves your money as well.
Solar power is definitely, producible and environment friendly. The energy generated from the sun in the form of heat and light is transformed into electrical power to operate various electronic and automated equipment. The use of solar energy doesn’t produce toxic elements into the atmosphere.
The usefulness of solar power plant can be recognised by the fact that they are very trustworthy and therefore do not need repair and maintenance even after a long period of time. The solar panel modules in your solar power plant generate electricity quietly.
If you are planning to install solar power plant for home or office or any other industrial purpose, dozens of types of solar panels are available from hundreds of manufacturers. To get a fully functional solar power plant, you need to buy appropriate solar inverter as well.
Below mentioned are 9 important things to look for while you buy or implement Solar Panels:
Try Better Options To Reduce Power Consumption
Before you opt for installation of Solar Panels, spend some time to understand your electricity usage. For example, you can replace normal bulbs and lights with LEDs lighting systems. LEDs are quite popular in the market because of their excellent energy efficiency, incomparable long life, durability, and brightness control capacity.
Replacing all of your fluorescent lamps and switching to LED bulbs and lights may save a significant amount of energy—they may appear to be a costly investment at first, but their cost eventually outweighs the money invested on setup. Similarly, fans run for more time than lights. So replacing your old fans with BLDC fans can reduce your electricity consumption significantly.
It is usually advisable to convert to solar energy only when you have adequate lighting to supplement its efficacy.
Examine The Availability Of Space For Solar Panels Installation
To get the solar panel set up and installed properly, you should have enough space in your home. Solar panels should preferably be positioned towards East, West or South as these are the only positions that allow them to receive sunlight throughout the day.
Based on the availability of space, 545 to 670 watt peak panels are ideal for industrial installation while 330 to 450 watt peak panels are perfect for reasonable sized implementation to massive scale installation.
Furthermore the structure of the solar panel determines how much space is necessary for the solar panel system.
Keep A Track Of Power Consumption
You may pick which circuits you want to connect with solar panels. You may control any number of outlets with a single solar panel, from all the fans and lights in the house to only one room or more.
Throughout the month, keep track of your power use and discover which appliances are utilised the most. If you use a microwave for cooking purposes in your apartment flat, you’ll presumably use roughly 15,000 watts each day.
In general a solar cell produces 0.5 volts while a solar panel is built up of ranging somewhere around 36 and 72 solar cells. This might assist you in determining which module and also how many panels would be required to fulfill your overall daily energy needs.
Calculate Cost
In the long term, solar power may minimise your electricity usage and, as a result, the money you’ll spend on settling your energy bill monthly basis; but, the initial cost and implementation of the solar panel may seem to be a bit too arduous.
Create a budget and set an amount that you wish to spend for placement and installation of solar panels. Search and buy solar panels and its attachments that are within your budget and easily available in the market.
Depending upon your needs and location, the cost of installation may come up between INR 40,000/- to INR 6,00,000/- for 1kW to 10kW capacity solar power plant.
Service & Maintenance Aspects
A solar system consists of three main fundamental elements: a solar panel, a battery charger, and an inverter or battery. Under standard conditions, the solar panel can last up to 25 years. Furthermore, since they do not need to move the components or electronics, they need little or zero repair throughout their lifespan.
If you get your solar system from a reputable vendor company, you will pay almost nothing on repair and maintenance. Select a solar system that is covered by a guarantee term.
Determine The Solar Power You’ll Obtain
Aside from the capacity of the cells in your solar panel, the quantity of solar electricity generated by solar setup is determined by various other physical parameters. The position of the building on which the solar panel will be installed, the number of trees surrounding the roof, the surface area of the roof, the latitude, and the direction.
If you’re planning to take government subsidy for your residential solar power plant, you need to select panels and inverters from the government approved list of manufacturers.
These are some of the important parameters that influence how much electricity your solar power system generates. In reality, the same solar panel may provide significantly varied amounts of power in various homes with varying configurations.
Select The Module Of Solar Panel
Monocrystalline solar panels and polycrystalline solar panels are the two primary types of solar panels. The previous has a blackish tint to it, but the later has an overall bluish hue to it, with the hue varying from cell to cell.
Monocrystalline solar panels are thought to be more efficient than polycrystalline ones. In fact, each solar panel must be thoroughly inspected for efficacy.
Install Safely And Correctly
Solar panels should only be installed by qualified personnel that understand how to complete the process from start to finish. You don’t want your solar system to be broken or fail to work as it should under normal conditions after you’ve spent a substantial amount of money on it.
Sunlight Exposure
Solar panels should indeed be positioned towards south, east, or west to receive the most solar exposure during the day. However, the location and configuration of the solar panels in accordance with the direction of your property affects a significant amount of energy output.
The best option is to have a trained solar installation examine the shadowing patterns on your roof and establish the optimum configuration and setup to get the most of your recently bought solar panels.
Final Note:
Rather than picking for the most popular solar panels, get one that is most suitable for your property! Before making a decision, consider a number of choices and the advice provided above.
