PV Solar Systems with Solar Panels, Inverter and batteries frequently asked questions
Q: What is a solar panel and inverter battery system?
A: A solar panel and inverter battery system is a renewable energy system that uses solar panels to generate electricity from the sun, an inverter to convert the DC (direct current) power from the solar panels into AC (alternating current) power, and batteries to store excess energy for later use.
Q: How does a solar panel and inverter battery system work?
A: Solar panels convert sunlight into DC power, which is sent to an inverter. The inverter converts the DC power into AC power, which can be used to power appliances and other electrical devices. Any excess energy is stored in batteries for later use.
Q: What are the benefits of a solar panel and inverter battery system?
A: The benefits of a solar panel and inverter battery system include lower electricity bills, reduced reliance on traditional energy sources, sustainability, reliability during power outages, and potential government incentives and programs.
Q: How much does a solar panel and inverter battery system cost?
A: The cost of a solar panel and inverter battery system varies depending on the size of the system and the specific components used. However, installation costs can be high, with some estimates ranging from R70,000 to R150,000 or more.
Q: How long does a solar panel and inverter battery system last?
A: The lifespan of a solar panel and inverter battery system can vary depending on factors such as usage, maintenance, and weather conditions. However, a well-maintained system can last up to 25 years or more.
Q: Can a solar panel and inverter battery system power a home or business completely?
A: It depends on the size of the system and the energy demands of the home or business. A larger system with more solar panels and batteries can potentially power a home or business completely, while a smaller system may only be able to supplement traditional energy sources.
Q: What happens if there is not enough sunlight to power the system?
A: If there is not enough sunlight to power the system, the batteries can be used to provide energy for a limited time. Additionally, a hybrid system that combines solar power with traditional energy sources can be used to provide consistent power even in low sunlight conditions.
